Abstract

A detailed study of the stopping power and energy loss straggling is presented for heavy ions ( 18⪕Z 1⪕92 ) in the energy region 0.5–10.0 MeV/u using different solids and gases ( 2⪕Z 2⪕92 ) as absorbers. The Z 2-oscillation and the density effect in the stopping power and the contribution of charge fluctuations induced by atomic collision processes to the energy loss straggling are demonstrated and compared to theoretical and semiempirical predictions.
