Fragmentation Cross Section of 800 A MeV Silicon Ions on Carbon Target

The total charge changing cross sections and the partial cross sections of projectile fragment production of the fragmentation of silicon ions on carbon target at 800 A MeV are measured using CR-39 plastic nuclear track detector. The total charge changing cross section agrees well with other experimental results at different energies and the prediction of theoretical models. The partial cross sections are consistent with other results at close energy. The obvious even-odd effect is observed in present investigation.
