Electronic Stopping of Heavy Ions in Solids

One of the most fruitful theories in the field of the electronic energy loss of heavy ions in solids is the concept of effective charge theory. The familiar results have hitherto been based on the restricted target model of the homogeneous electron gas. The major part of the target characterization is added in form of experimental proton data, using the ‘heavy ion scaling rule.’ On the other ha...

Stopping Power Calculations for Heavy Relativistic Ions

Recent theoretical results have led to improvements in formulas for dE=dx, particularly in the regime of high projectile charge and moderate to highly relativistic velocities. In addition, integration of dE=dx leads to predictions of total range given initial energy and, reciprocally, initial energy given total range. We have compiled theoretical formulas for dE=dx from a variety of sources int...

Non Stopping times and Stopping Theorems

Given a random time, we give some characterizations of the set of martingales for which the stopping theorems still hold. We also investigate how the stopping theorems are modified when we consider arbitrary random times. To this end, we introduce some families of martingales with remarkable properties.

The Frontal Control of Stopping.

Stopping is a critical aspect of brain function. Like other voluntary actions, it is defined by its context as much as by its execution. Its neural substrate must therefore reflect both. Here, we distinguish those elements of the underlying brain circuit that preferentially reflect contextual aspects of stopping from those related to its execution. Contextual complexity of stopping was modulate...

The Comparison of the shares of stopping power in a soft tissue-equivalent material

Introduction: Proton therapy is a type of radiation treatment that it uses protons to treat cancer. Because of the protons’ unique ability to distribute the radiation dose more directly to the tumor, it minimizes the damage to nearby healthy tissues. The rate of energy loss by the ion in the target is called stopping power. The total stopping power is sum nuclear and electroni...
