PASSAGE OF CHARGED PARTICLES THROUGH MATTER. Technical Report No. 2
Areas examined are the stopping power and range energy relation for heavy charged particles with attendant shell corrections, straggling of heavy particles, coulomb and multiple scattering, average energy loss per ion pair, and passage of electrons through matter. Tables display values of parameters used in calculating stopping powers for various proton energies (0.1 to 700 Mev), calculated values of proton stopping powers for several substances and elements (2 to 600 Mev), proton stopping powers for several substances (0.05 to 6 Mev), various shell corrections, pathlengths for 2.5 to 1000 Mev protons in several substances, experimental maximum ranges and theoretical pathlengths of 100 kev electrons and positrons in several substances, an average energy for ion pair formation for various particles, and some multiple scattering and proton straggling relations. Other relations are plotted, and a bibliography of 88 references to fairly recent literature on passage of charged particles through matter is included. (D.C.W.)
