Abstract

Using the magnetic spectrometer SPES I at SATURNE, energy-loss measurements have been performed for projectiles of 40Ar (401 MeV/u), 36P (362 MeV/u), 15N (149 MeV/u), 11Li (131 MeV/u) and 8Li, 9Li (130 MeV/u) in carbon, aluminum and lead targets. The experimental results are compared to calculations based on a modified relativistic Bethe formula and to a semiempirical formula using a Z2 scaling law for the stopping power and an effective charge parametrization for the heavy ions.
