General Expression for the Density Effect for the Ionization Loss of Charged Particles
Abstract
This paper presents a simple reformulation of the expression for the density effect correction $\ensuremath{\delta}$, i. e., the reduction in the ionization loss of fast charged particles due to the dielectric polarization of the medium. The general expression for $\ensuremath{\delta}$ thus obtained is applicable to both condensed materials and gases. Its accuracy is such that the resulting values of the ionization loss $\frac{\mathrm{dE}}{\mathrm{dx}}$ are expected to have a maximum error of less than 2% throughout the range of momenta where the density effect is important.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
