Further Measurements of the Ionization by Energetic Cosmic-Ray  -Mesons

Ionization Loss byμMesons in Helium

“…1-11 The principal results of these calculations are in good agreement with experimental observa- tion. [12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24] However, in the region of high momenta it is uncertain how much of this total energy loss manifests itself as ionization and how much as Cerenkov radiation. Sternheimer, 8 in his treatment of the density-effect corrections to the Bethe-Bloch calculation, has suggested a method to compute this division of energy loss.…”
