Passage of Charged Particles Through Matter

Abstract

Some commonly used formulas and principal data on the passage of fast charged particles through matter are presented.^The areas covered include: atomic collision cross sections; stopping power for heavy charged particles; range-energy relations; shell corrections and I-values; straggling of heavy particles; coulomb and multiple scattering, and nuclear interactions; electrons; and mean energy for the formation of an ion pair.^(GHT)
