Inverse Kinematics Studies of Intermediate‐Energy Reactions Relevant for SEE and Medical Problems

The lack of systematic experimental checks on the intermediate‐energy nuclear model simulations of heavily ionizing recoils from nucleon‐nucleus collisions — critical inputs for the Single Event Effect analysis of microelectronics and dosimetry calculations including high‐LET components in the cancer tumor radiation therapy — has been a primary motivation for a new experiment planned at the CELSIUS nuclear storage ring of The Svedberg Laboratory, Uppsala, Sweden. Details of the experiment and the first results from a feasibility study are presented here.
