Abstract
Charged particle penetration is amenable to elementary analysis if the continuous-slowing-down, small-angle, and diffusion-in-angle approximations are made. Such calculations are carried out in this paper, partly for their own interest and partly to demonstrate procedures of use in more realistic calculations. The present calculations can be considered an extension of Yang's work to problems including energy loss. One section of the paper goes beyond the approximation of diffusion in angle to derive results for a scattering function with a large-angle tail.
