Erratum to “On the gas-solid difference in stopping power for low energy ions” [Nucl. Instr. and Meth. B 262 (2007) 13

Abstract

Recently, we claimed that the gas–solid difference in stopping powers persists from high down to low ion energies. This claim was based on a comparison between experimental data and the table of ICRU Report 73. We reconsider this claim in view of a recent article by Sigmund and Schinner where the claim was rejected. We find that the apparent gas–solid difference shown in our calculations is an artifact: it really points to an inadequacy of the table of ICRU 73 for low energy ions.
