摘要：
The calculation is based on a factorization of fragmentation cross-sections into a projectile-depending and a target-depending part, which was found at Bavalac for high energy C and O ions. With this the known cross-sections for the fragmentation of heavy ions in collision with protons can be extrapolated to heavier targets. Considering the fragmentation and the energy loss of heavy nuclei the energy spectra of individual elements are calculated for different depths of absorber. This energy spectra can easily be converted to LET (linear energy transfer) spectra. The changes of the isotopic composition with absorber depth and its influence on the shape of the LET-spectra are discussed. The calculated results are compared with experimental data.
