Abstract

The energy loss of Li, C and O ions in polypropylene absorber foils has been measured using 15 UD Pelletron Accelerator facility at Inter University Accelerator Centre (IUAC), New Delhi, India. The actual experiment has been performed in low flux chamber attached to the General Purpose Scattering Chamber (GPSC). These experimental energy loss values have been compared with the computed values based on various empirical/semi-empirical formulations. Some interesting trends have been observed.
