Abstract
The theory of energy loss, the mean excitation energy, inner shell corrections, energy straggling, multiple scattering effects, and phenomena associated with particle tracks are discussed. Protons, alpha particles, and mesons were chosen because of their penetration dependence on material stopping power. 145 references. (R.E.U.)

Range Straggling of Charged Particles in Be, C, Al, Cu, Pb, and Air
The straggling of the range of charged particles due to fluctuations of the ionization loss has been evaluated for six substances (Be, C, Al, Cu, Pb, and air). The calculations ...
Velocity-Range Relation for Fission Fragments
Considerations indicated in an earlier note as regards the rate of velocity loss of fission fragments along the range are developed in greater detail and a comparison is given b...

The stopping power of matter for fast particles is at present believed to be due to three different processes: (1) the ionization; (2) the nuclear scattering; (3) the emission o...
