Isotopic production cross sections from projectile fragmentation of sulfur-32 in a liquid hydrogen target
Using the Heavy Ion Spectrometer System (HISS) at the Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory, the authors are conducting a systematic measurement of isotopic production cross sections for application to the interpretation of the relativistic heavy-ion component of the galactic cosmic ray spectrum. They present here for the first time, final isotopic production cross sections for Sulfur-32 on Hydrogen at 400 and 600 MeV per nucleon and preliminary isotopic production cross sections for Sulfur-32 on Hydrogen at 800 MeV per nucleon. They compare their data with previous fragmentation cross measurements, with the predictions of semi-emprical and parametric codes used in galactic cosmic ray transport models, and with the predictions of code based on the Abrasion-Ablation model of projectile fragmentation of relativistic heavy ions. Comparisons made will be of the absolute magnitude of the cross sections, the charge and mass shapes of the cross sections, and the energy dependence of the cross sections.
