“…However, that refers only to the central values; taking into account the uncertainties, the data are almost equally consistent with the hypothesis that the 16 O cross sections are larger, as one would expect from simple geometry. The only other unexpected trend in these data is the slight decrease of the 20 Ne cross sections for aluminum and heavier targets at 600 MeV/nucleon compared to the 400 MeV/nucleon data. The effect is only slightly larger than the combined one-sigma uncertainties and we do not believe it has any physical significance.…”

“…Agreement between the hydrogen-target cross sections is generally good, but it is not good for several of the carbon-target results. Specifically, the cross sections for oxygen beams on carbon targets do not agree well, and the results for 20 Ne on carbon at 400 MeV/nucleon differ by about 8%. The discrepancies are all well beyond the stated uncertainties from either group.…”

“…As in earlier work (see references [6] - [10]), the CERN library program PAW [20] was used to analyze the data. For every run, an initial event sample was selected by requiring that one and only one primary beam ion was seen in the detectors upstream of the target.…”

“…Furthermore, beams of C [3,4] and Ne ions [5] have also been used in cancer therapy, where fragmentation plays a key role in limiting the (desired) localization of the dose to the tumor volume. We present cross sections for beams of 14 N ions at 290 and 400 MeV/nucleon; 16 O at 290, 400, 600, and 1000 MeV/nucleon; 20 Ne at 290, 400, and 600 MeV/nucleon; and 24 Mg at 400 MeV/nucleon. Charge-changing (sometimes referred to as "total" charge-changing) cross sections and fragment production cross sections have been extracted from energy-loss spectra measured with silicon detectors.…”
