Abstract
Energy loss straggling of fast charged particles colliding with atoms have been considered in the eikonal approximation. The result is represented in the form of the Fano formula with a nonperturbative correction. The known nonperturbative Titeica formula (which is transformed to the Fano formula when perturbation theory is applicable) is obtained only under certain approximations in eikonal calculations. It has been shown that straggling calculated with allowance for nonperturbative effects at large charges of the projectile can be significantly different (by an order of magnitude) from the results obtained by Titeica, Fano, and Bohr. Energy loss straggling of fast highly charged ions on hydrogen and copper atoms have been calculated. The latter results are compared to experimental data.
