| description | This paper reports the calculation of stopping powers of heavy charged particles generated by neutrons in four-element
tissue constituents for particle energies from 0.1 keY to 1.0 MeV. At low projectile energies of less than 30 keV/amu where
the nuclear stopping phenomenon is more dominant than the electronic stopping phenomenon, the effective stopping power
values are higher than the continuous slowing-down approximation (CSDA) values, from which the deviation is dependent
upon the target mass and the energy and mass of the projectiles. |
