Abstract

Charged particles lose energy by nuclear interactions during their passing in material are very significant and useful especially in nuclear therapy. We used Bethe-Bloch equation programmed with Matlab and compared the results with E-star program. There are calculated total stopping power (collisional and radiative stopping power) for electron in tissues (Brain and Lung) by considering that each tissue consists of several elements; the total stopping power was measured for those elements within the energy range from 0.01-1000 MeV, taking into account the density correction used in the stopping power calculation. Results are presented and compared with the latest published data.
