Stopping power of Zn for 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...

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...

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...

Application of Calorimetric Low Temperature Detectors (CLTD’s) for Precise Stopping Power Measurements of Heavy Ions in Matter

Precise data on electronic stopping powers, i.e. specific energy loss dE/dx, for heavy ions are of high interest in various fields of research [1]. Unfortunately the accuracy of theoretical ab-initio dE/dx-calculations is nowadays still unsatisfactory. Therefore, predictions of stopping powers are usually calculated by semi-empirical computer codes, which are based on best fits to available exp...
