Stopping Power of Matter for Ions

Helium Ions

In the following table you can find the electronic stopping power of He ions plotted versus the projectile energy. The reference codes are explained in the list of all data references, and the curve designations in the list of stopping power tables and programs. The figures can be download as image and also the origin graphs. The experimental data is also available as ascii files.

Generally, graphs are shown if at least two or three set of data from different publications are available for the particular ion-target combination. If you do not find the figure for certain ion-target click here to check the list of all data and references for He ions (up to 2016). Since 2016 all the new data have their corresponding figure and the comparison with the previous data.

At present, graphs are available for the following targets (to download all the experimental data for Helium Ions click here):
