A new stopping power parameterization for 0.1–15 MeV/nucleon heavy and superheavy ions in solids and gases

Electronic stopping powers of heavy ions in several media are deduced from the corresponding proton data by using new effective charge parameterizations. Separate sets of parameters were deduced for solid and gaseous materials using the available data for heavy ions in the energy range from 0.1 to 15 MeV/nucleon. Using these results, predictions are made for stopping powers of heavy and superheavy elements with Z = 100–130 in the energy range of 0.5–15 MeV/nucleon.
