Abstract

The main objective of the FOOT (FragmentatiOn of Target) experiment is to measure the double differential cross-sections with respect to the kinetic energy and the angle of emission of fragments produced in nuclear interactions with an accuracy of 5%. Measurements will use the inverse kinematics approach to study the interaction of heavy ions with proton-rich targets and will be performed in two energy regions, one up to 400 MeV/u, to assess the effects of nuclear fragmentation in hadrontherapy treatment with proton beams, and up to 700 MeV/u, to improve the knowledge of the fragmentation of ions on nuclei to help with the design of space vehicles shielding.
