Abstract
Numerical simulations of proton stopping lengths in aluminum slab plasmas have been done using a modified version of the MEDUSA-KA code and compared to other published computations. Simulations have been performed for proton beam parameters consistent with future experiments on the KALIF light ion accelerator at KfK including carbon contamination of the beam. These simulations show that proton range shortening should be evident in KALIF experiments and that the carbon contamination must be removed to allow interpretation of the data.
