Reduced stopping power

Fermi (1940) pointed out that as /)—-1 the stopping power would power would approach °° were it not for the fact that polarization screening of one medium electron by another reduced the interaction slightly. This effect is important for the condensed phase and is therefore called the density correction it is denoted by adding -Z<5/2 to the stopping number. Fano s (1963) expression for 8 reduces at high velocities to... 

When the nitroparaffins are reduced with powerful agents, the corresponding amines are formed in a way similar to that described in the next section for nitrobenzene. But just as in the case of nitrobenzene, so also with nitroparaffins, the reaction can be stopped at the hydroxylamine stage by using zinc dust in a neutral medium. 

The electronic stopping power involves a collision between the heavy ion nucleus and an electron of the medium. The reduced mass of the encounter can always be assumed to...

Removal of the fine sand has reduced the stopping power or breakthrough efficiency. Filter efficiency is also reduced. Filter efficiency has been directly related to the media particle surface area. The number of particles in a given volume of a dual-media filter has been reduced. The average size of the particles has also increased. As the filtered material is relatively loosely held in the coal layer, the materials are dislodged and will likely penetrate the sand layer and appear in the filter effluent if a flow change or applied solids surge occurs. 

Ammunition has been manufactured with more than one bullet loaded inside the cartridge case. The idea is to increase the stopping power of the ammunition. Up to four bullets loaded in tandem within a single cartridge case are known, with the bullets reduced in size and weight compared to... 

All subsonic rounds are loaded to produce velocities below 1100 feet per second, the speed of sound. This eliminates the "crack" produced by a normal velocity round when fired from a silenced weapon. These loads are also engineered to achieve reduced muzzle flash, greater muzzle energy,stopping power and accuracy than traditional subsonic ammo. An example of previous loads are the special 9mm rotands used in the silenced Sten during WWII. These rounds were similar to the standard. 380 load in performance. 

Although the suppressor will eliminate muzzle blast noise,flash and smoke, a super sonic crack will be heard when standard 5.56 NATO or commercial. 223 ammo is used. If special circumstances dictate maximum sound control and allow for reduced range and stopping power,the crack can be eliminated by firing specially loaded subsonic rounds. 

Another important test of the theory is provided by the well-known scaling property of the empirical effective charge, which makes it a very practical and widely used quantity. This scaling is obtained by representing the whole collection of experimental stopping power values, according to equation (18), versus the reduced velocity When this is done, the universe... 

In the mixture, average atomic number decreases with the ratio of BN. Since radiative stopping power of -ray is proportional to the square of average atomic number, the probabihty of production of bremsstrahlung photons can be reduced in the new layer, and also the spectrum of the photons becomes softer than that of the "SrTiOa layer. These are factors for radiation dose reduction. On the other hand, there is another factor for radiation dose increase since generated position of bremsstrahlung photons approaches the detection position. Consequently, radiation dose on the surface of the heat source can be minimized by arranging those two factors.

For the purpose of the present work, range is defined as the distance the particle travels before its energy is reduced to 0.25 Mev./n. We use a Monte Carlo procedure in conjunction with Bethe s stopping power to calculate the range. This is described as follows. 

As stated earlier, Eqs. 4.2 to 4.4 disregard the effect of forces between atoms and atomic electrons of the attenuating medium. A correction for this density ejfect has been made, but it is small and it will be neglected here. The density effect reduces the stopping power slightly. 

The lack of nuclear collisions for channeled ions is not the only phenomenon that affects the pulse height. It is known that the electron density is much reduced along the channel. As a result, the electronic stopping power is lower and, consequently, so is the charge density produced by the heavy ion. Thus, not only the nuelear but also the recombination defect is reduced for the channeled ions.
