Abstract
Recently, the Monte Carlo transport code HETC has been extended to include the interactions and transport of energetic heavy ions. Here, for the first time, we compare predictions of fragment production and energy loss with laboratory data measured at Brookhaven National Laboratory and at the National Institute of Radiological Sciences in Japan. Very good agreement is found for predicted and measured energy loss spectra for a variety of incident laboratory beams and targets.Keywords
