Validation of Geant4 fragmentation for Heavy Ion Therapy

$^{12}$C ion therapy has had growing interest in recent years for its excellent dose conformity. However at therapeutic energies, which can be as high as 400 MeV/u, carbon ions produce secondary fragments. For an incident 400 MeV/u 12C ion beam, $\sim 70 \%$ of the beam will undergo fragmentation be...
