IONIZATION AND ENERGY LOSS OF $alpha$ PARTICLES IN VARIOUS GASES (in German)

Journal Article · · Ann. Physik
The Bragg curve and the glow equivalent weight was measured with ThC' alpha particles (8.78 Mev) as a function of energy for air, He, Ne, Ar, Kr, Xe, H/sub 2/, N/sub 2/, O/sub 2/, CO, CO/sub 2/, sub 4/H/sub 10. values were determinedi extrapolated and mean range, mean relative stopping power, relative stopping power as function of the residual range in air, the magnitudes l occurring in the Bethe formula (mean excitation potential), the energy-range relationship, and the energy loss dE/dR as a function of the residual range in air. The measurements have shown that in molecular gases, including hydrocarbons, at energies of about 4 Mev and up, the stopping power can be put together additively from the atomic stopping power of the atoms.
