I was assuming the "0.5 MeV/nuc ions" just meant they are counting all nucleons they encounter with at least that much (kinetic?) energy. I don't see how your interpretation works with that, but I could very easily be missing something.
My naive interpretation is that the graph does a great job of demonstrating the environmental change.
- spuz 8y agoIt's possible the particle energies are very homogeneous i.e before the drop they were all just above 0.5MeV with very low std deviation and after the drop they were all just below 0.5MeV. You cannot tell from the graph what the true drop off is because you cannot tell how their energies were distributed.
