The paper presents the results of precision measurements of the total stopping range an
d energy
deposition function of
238U ions with specific energies
E = 500 an
d 950 MeV/u in stainless steel an
d copper targets. The experiment was performe
d at the SIS-18 facility (GSI Darmsta
dt) in the experimental area Cave A in September 2004–May 2005.
The measured energy deposition profiles are compared with calculations using the codes ATIMA, PHITS, SHIELD and SRIM.
