Abstract

We develop a renormalized technique to evaluate the stopping for a low-velocity ion. We show that the linear description of energy loss is adequate only in a region much larger than the classical distance of closest approach. Close collision contribution to the stopping power lies on the same footing as distant collision. As a new result, the deviation to the usual Z2 contribution to the stopping power is always a correction and behaves as Z5/2 rather than Z3.
