Stopping power of heavy ions in solids: A comparative study (original) (raw)

1995, Applied Radiation and Isotopes

A comparative study of various stopping power formulations have been made by comparing the calculated stopping power values with the corresponding experimental values for different projectiles, e.g. U, Pb, Au, Xe, Mo, Kr, Cu, Ca, Ar, P, O, N, Li etc. in different targerts, e.g. Be, C, Al, Si, Ti, Ni, Cu, Zr, Ag, Ta, Au, Bi, U, (CH)n, Mylar, Hostaphan etc. at various energies (≈ 3–400 MeV/n). It has been observed that the Hubert et al. formulation provides results in best agreement with the experimental results for all projectile and target combinations in this energy domain.
