In this paper we present an empirical relation for total stopping power keV in terms of total energy (kinetic energy + rest mass energy) for electrons and positrons from 20 keV to 50000 and have been fitted by a two parameter approximation. These parameters depend upon the atomic number (Z) of the absorber and are applicable in absorbers of atomic number from Z=1 to 92. A fairly good agreement has been found between our simplified values for total stopping power of electrons and positrons for Carbon, Aluminum, Copper, Silver, Gold, Lead, Iron, Uranium, Germanium, Silicon and Molybdenum and that of Berger and Seltzer calculated values
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
