Stopping power of dense helium plasma for fast heavy ions

Stopping Power Calculations for Heavy Relativistic Ions

Recent theoretical results have led to improvements in formulas for dE=dx, particularly in the regime of high projectile charge and moderate to highly relativistic velocities. In addition, integration of dE=dx leads to predictions of total range given initial energy and, reciprocally, initial energy given total range. We have compiled theoretical formulas for dE=dx from a variety of sources int...

Measurements of stopping cross sections of liquid water for fast protons and helium ions

Electronic Stopping of Heavy Ions in Solids

One of the most fruitful theories in the field of the electronic energy loss of heavy ions in solids is the concept of effective charge theory. The familiar results have hitherto been based on the restricted target model of the homogeneous electron gas. The major part of the target characterization is added in form of experimental proton data, using the ‘heavy ion scaling rule.’ On the other ha...

A theoretical description for heavy ion beam stopping in hot and dense plasma

The stopping power of heavy ions in matter is a field of research that has been addressed for about a century. The understanding of the interaction of charged particles with cold matter has continuously evolved, however for ionized matter it is not yet fully understood. This report presents a new theoretical ansatz to a consistent microscopic description for the energy loss of argon in a laser-...

Electronic stopping of heavy ions in the Kaneko model.

The familiar results of eeective charge theory of the electronic stopping of heavy ions in solids have hitherto been based on the target model of a homogeneous electron gas. Thèheavy ion scaling rule' and experimental proton data were used to incorporate the major information on the polarization of real target materials. Introducing Kaneko's generalized target dielectric functions provides a de...
