Detector Calibration by Monte Carlo Simulation Based on the Energy-Range Relationship of Energetic Ions

The experimental measurement of the total interaction cross sections of N, C, B, and Be isotopes on ¹²C target at medium energies is described. A new formula that gives a good description of the energy-range relationship of energetic ions over a wide energy range is presented. The energy calibration of detectors is made by a Monte Carlo simulation method based on this new formula.
