Abstract: The stopping power for 16 O ions in 4 He gas from 1 to 31 MeV is measured using an indirect method. The 16 O beam of fixed energy entered a scattering chamber filled with 4 He gas at different pressures and its residual energy is measured. The stopping power is determined by differentiating the thickness versus residual energy curve. The measured stopping power is compared with those calculated with the codes SRIM and MSTAR.
