Physics Faculty Publications and Presentations
The stopping power of matter for alpha particles at extreme relativistic energies has been calculated by incorporating the charge form factor. A table is presented for aluminum, copper, and lead. It is found that at the highest energies considered, inclusion of form factor reduces the mass stopping power by about 6-8% in comparison with that predicted by Bethe's relativistic formula.
