Abstract

The results of searches for nucleon charge-exchange processes in the fragmentation of carbon ions are presented. The respective experimental data were obtained by means of the FRAGM facility at the TWAC-ITEP multipurpose accelerator complex with a 300-MeV/nucleon beam incident to a thin beryllium target. The experimental setup used, which was oriented at an angle of 3.5\({}^{\circ}\) with respect to the ion beam, possessed a hodoscope system, which ensured an accuracy of 0.4\(\%\) in momentum measurements. The differential cross sections for the yields of isotopes \({}^{11}\)Be and \({}^{12}\)B produced upon single nucleon charge exchange were measured as a function of the fragment momentum. These experimental data were compared with theoretical predictions of two models of ion–ion interactions: the binary cascade (BC) model and the intranuclear cascade (INCL) model. In the above energy range, processes of nucleon charge exchange were measured for the first time.
