Abstract
A semi-empirical equation for the electronic energy loss of fission fragments has been derived by fitting the theoretical approach of Bohr, specifically developed for heavy stopping materials, to experimental data in gases and solids in a wide range of atomic numbers. The fitting procedure was performed by choosing a different expression for the number of electrons of the medium taking part in the stopping process, which includes empirical parameters obtained by fitting to experiment.The equation enables the energy loss of fission fragments in substances of any Z2, regardless of their physical state, to be predicted to a good degree of accuracy down to energies of approximately 20 MeV.
