Title: Investigation of the ratio of proton-stopping cross sections in Ag and Au

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

Knowledge of the ratio of stopping cross sections may help in determining best values from measurements. The case of Ag and Au is discussed, where theoretical considerations show that this ratio always has a value smaller than 1. This is confirmed experimentally for proton energies larger than 70 keV, in contradiction to all published stopping-power tabulations.
