“…As a consequence of the different collision frequencies in solids and gases the ionization of the heavy ions should be larger inside solids. There are reports [4][5][6][7][8][9][10], which indicate that the experimental range and stopping power values for heavy ions deviate significantly, from the often used formulations [3,[11][12][13][14]. A number of promising theoretical and semi-empirical approaches are available at present.…”

A comparative study of various stopping power tables and codes for heavy ions in gases has been made through comparison of computed values and the corresponding experimental data. Ten gaseous media : five monatomic rare gases (He to Xe), two diatomic gases (H 2 , N 2 ) and three polyatomic gaseous compounds (CH 4 , CF 4 and CO 2 ) have been chosen to study the stopping power investigations of heavy ions (8 £ Z £ 92) having energy ranges of ~0.10-10.00 MeV/n and ~20.00-57.00 MeV/n. We compare the experimental data of stopping power to values calculated using various tables and computer codes by ICRU-73, Ziegler et al (SRIM2003.26), Grande and Schiwietz (CasP3.1), Paul and Schinner (MSTAR3.12), and Bazin and Tarasov (LISE ++:2-ATIMA1.2). On the basis of statistical analysis, we estimate the reliability of these tables and codes. It has been observed that the MSTAR3.12 code shows the best agreement with the experimental data for projectile ions (8 £ Z £ 18) in the entire energy range. The SRIM2003.26 code provides good results except for some heavy projectiles (Xe, Pb and U). The values tabulated by CasP3.1 code underestimate especially at low energy region. No significant trend is observed in case of LISE++:2-ATIMA1.2 code and ICRU-73 report.

“…The LET 200 CR-39 values of the particles can be calculated either by Benton table (Benton, 1969) or by computer codes (Weaver and Westphal, 2002;ICRU, 2005) and the etch rate ratio can be obtained from Somogyi formula. Thus the relationship between LET 200 CR-39 and etch rate ratio S can be established and a best fit for the data of LET 200 CR-39 and S can then be found.…”

“…[6]; Ti as a material is useful for contact formation in Metal-Oxides-Semiconductor (MOS) devices in micro-electronics [7,8]; Ni foils are useful for constructing high strength windows for use with high-current ion beams [9]. The measured dE/dx and range values in these materials are also compared with the computed values based on the most commonly used theoretical/semi-empirical formulations (Grande and Schiwietz (CasP) [10][11][12][13], Northcliffe and Schilling [14], Benton and Henke [15], ICRU-49 report (ASTAR) [16][17] and Ziegler et al (SRIM) [18][19] in order to identify the best suitable formulation with the presently measured values.…”
