Energy loss and straggling of ions with any velocity in dense plasmas at any temperature

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev. A; (United States)

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.
