The current web calculator for stopping powers is a real time implemetation of the "SRIM Module.exe" (with an upper energy limit of 5 GeV/amu) included in SRIM 2013 code (SRIM Tutorials) - whose maximum available energy is 10 GeV/amu -, i.e., the used electronic stopping power tables are those provided by "SRIM Module.exe" code with a low energy limit of 1 eV.
EXAMPLE:
Electronic Stopping Power for Protons in Silicon:
Electronic Stopping Power for Protons in GaAs:
Electronic Stopping Power for Protons in Water Liquid:
NOTE:
Output table and graph include the electronic stopping power in units of Mev cm2/g (i.e., the mass electronic stopping power).
The lower energy limit is 1 eV
The higher energy limit is 5 GeV/nucleon
Target selection for the results obtained in the EXAMPLE section
Selection for Protons in Silicon:
Selection for Protons in GaAs:
Selection for Protons in Water Liquid:
In SRIM, gas targets are dealt differently from those solid. User can select the target as a gas only for following elemental targets: H, He, N, O, F, Ne, Cl, Ar, Kr, Xe, Rn.
FINAL REMARK:
In the present electronic stopping power to dose converter, the energy lost by the incoming particle is assumed to be fully absorbed by the medium - for instance, the medium is supposed to to be thick enough to fully absorb the kinetic energy of emitted delta rays - and the particle energy is almost constant while traversing the absorber.
