The exact random-phase-approximation dielectric function is used to compute the energy loss and straggling of nonrelativistic charged particles in very dense electron fluids (r/sub s/< or =1) at any degeneracy and for any velocity ratio V/V/sub F/. Relevance to ion-driven inertial fusion is stressed.
