  • 1. Lab. of Elementary Particles, Lebedev Physical Inst., Moscow (Russia)

Description

A general expression for ionization energy loss distribution produced by a relativistic charged particle in a thin absorber with correction for the influence of a transport process of the ionization electrons was obtained. The theory predictions are compared with Monte Carlo simulation. Some applications of the theory are discussed. (orig.)
