Abstract
The general expression for the self-energy of a moving charged particle interacting with a metal surface has been derived for its above-threshold speed. The dispersion of the surface as well as bulk plasmon has been taken into account. Expressions for the energy loss and the effective mass of the incident charged particle have been also derived. Numerical results for the self-energy, energy loss, and the effective mass of the incident charged particle have been presented. It is found that effects of plasmon dispersion are quite significant.
