Abstract
From the theory of Moller [Moller, Chr. 1931. Uber den Stos zweier Teilchen unter Berucksichtigung der Retardation der Krafte. Zeitschrift f. Phys. 70: 786–795] the energy loss of electrons with relativistic speeds passing through matter is derived. The energy loss per centimeter of distance reaches a minimum at about 96% of the speed of light and increases again at higher speeds; for electrons of several billion Volt it is about 4 million Volt per centimeter of water. A table of the theoretical energy loss for electrons and protons of various speeds is given.
