Abstract
A comparative study of various energy loss formulations has been made using the calculated stopping power values and the corresponding experimental values for projectile ions with 8⩽ Z⩽92 in 11 gaseous media: the five monatomic rare gases (He to Xe), two diatomic gases ( H 2, N 2 ) and four polyatomic compounds ( CH 4, C 4 H 10, CO 2 and CF 4), in an energy range of ∼1– 80 MeV/n . The merits and demerits of the adopted formulations are highlighted. It has been observed that the calculations based on SRIM-2000.38 recently developed by Ziegler provides best agreement with the experimental results for projectile ions with 8⩽ Z⩽47 in all these absorbers except the H 2 gas absorber.
