Target residues from the interaction of copper with 15–45 MeV/nucleonC12ions

Target residues from the interaction of copper with 15, 25, and 45 MeV/nucleon ${}_{}{}^{12}{}_{}{}^{}\mathrm{C}$ ions have been studied by off-line γ-ray spectroscopy. Cross sections, average ranges, and forward-to-backward ratios were measured for some 35 products. The data were used to obtain the isobaric yield distribution, the mass yield distribution, the mean longitudinal momentum transfer, and the mean excitation energy. The evolution of these quantities with energy is examined in conjunction with our previous results for 35 MeV/nucleon ${}_{}{}^{12}{}_{}{}^{}\mathrm{C}$ ions.
