Bulletin of the Russian Academy of Sciences: Physics Aims and scope

Abstract

FOOT is a nuclear physics experiment which aims to fill the gap in experimental data on the differential cross sections for the production of secondary fragments induced by proton and ion beam interactions with energies up to 700 MeV/A. These data are necessary for correct medical applications and calculations of radiation doses in different conditions, for the design and optimization of spacecrafts for cosmic flights.
