Investigation of the Nuclear Stopping Mechanism by Heavy Particle Range Measurements in Isotopic Media
Keyword(s):
An experimental study of the nuclear stopping mechanism has been carried out by performing high precision range and range straggling measurements of 96.5 keV 224Ra α-disintegration recoil particles in the following isotopic gases: H2/D2/T2,3He/4He, 14N2/15N2,16O2/18O2, and 20Ne/22Ne. Distinct range differences for light to heavy isotope mass ratios up to about 0.9 were determined. The results obtained establish clearly that the prediction of the isotope effect of the stopping medium, as derived from the Lindhard theory by using the power law potential as an approximation to the Thomas–Fermi potential, is to a good degree of accuracy, confirmed by experiment.
