EPAX Version 2.1
An Empirical Parametrization of
Projectile-Fragmentation Cross Sections
by K. Sümmerer and B. Blank
Welcome to this interactive version of EPAX V2.1! This program will assist you in estimating
production cross sections for projectile fragmentation reaction products, using a parametrization
based on experimental data from high-energy reactions.
Please enter the following information:
NOTE: Setting Z(fragment) = 999 calculates all possible isotopes (no transfer),
while A(fragment)=999 calculates all possible isotopes with Z(fragment)!
If you want to learn more about the EPAX parametrization, such as the underlying physics and the inherent assumptions and limitations, check out these sources:
Remember that in order to obtain production rates, the cross sections must be folded with beam intensity and target thickness. Furthermore, the total transmission must be taken into account to predict rates at the final focus of the fragment separator. The program MOCADI can be used for these purposes.
