Abstract

Some theoretical and experimental ranges and straggling values of heavy ions are compared in the energy region where the nuclear stopping dominates. In the calculations, two Monte-Carlo methods and the principles of the LSS theory were used. In most cases rather good consistency is obtained, if Dirac-Fock electron distributions and Monte-Carlo methods are used. The effects of the solid properties of the stopping medium on the ranges are estimated to be small. A stopping power curve based on a mean Dirac-Fock potential, when the LSS theory is corrected, is presented.
