Particle Penetration and Radiation Effects: General Aspects and Stopping of Swift Point Charges (Springer Series in Solid-State Sciences, 151)

Drawing on the author’s forty-plus years of experience as a researcher in the interaction of charged particles with matter, this book emphasizes the theoretical description of fundamental phenomena. Special attention is given to classic topics such as Rutherford scattering; the theory of particle stopping; the statistical description of energy loss and multiple scattering and numerous more recent developments.
