Stopping power in nonideal plasmas

Stopping power for deuterons in partially ionized Al plasmas

Interpolation formula for the electrical conductivity of nonideal plasmas

On the basis of a quantum-statistical approach to the electrical conductivity of nonideal plasmas we derive analytical results in the classical low-density regime, in the degenerate Born limit, and for the contribution of the Debye-Onsager relaxation effect. These explicit results are used to construct an improved interpolation formula of the electrical conductivity valid in a wide range of tem...

Relativistic high-current electron-beam stopping-power characterization in solids and plasmas: collisional versus resistive effects.

We present experimental and numerical results on intense-laser-pulse-produced fast electron beams transport through aluminum samples, either solid or compressed and heated by laser-induced planar shock propagation. Thanks to absolute K(α) yield measurements and its very good agreement with results from numerical simulations, we quantify the collisional and resistive fast electron stopping power...

Proton stopping in plasmas considering e –e collisions

The purpose of the present paper is to describe the effects of electron-electron collisions on proton electronic stopping in plasmas of any degeneracy. Plasma targets are considered fully ionized so electronic stopping is only due to the free electrons. The stopping due to free electrons is obtained from an exact quantum mechanical evaluation in the random phase approximation, which takes into ...

Stopping of Directed Energetic Electrons in High-Temperature Hydrogenic Plasmas

LLE Review, Volume 98 97 A basic problem in plasma physics is the interaction and energy loss of energetic charged particles in plasmas.1–4 This problem has traditionally focused on ions (i.e., protons, alphas, etc.), either in the context of heating and/or ignition in, for example, inertial confinement fusion (ICF)3–6 or the use of these particles for diagnosing implosion dynamics.7 More recen...
