Abstract
⺠A new method is introduced to calculate alpha energy - distance traveled in a medium. ⺠Alpha particles from 222Rn and its progeny from initial energy to zero are considered. ⺠Media including air, water, hexane, cyclohexane, olive oil and CR-39 are considered. ⺠The method is based on fitting an inverse function into the range-energy data. ⺠The energy-distance equations were derived and plotted using a Monte Carlo simulation.
