THE ENERGY LOSSES OF RELATIVISTIC HIGH CHARGED IONS

Abstract

The energy losses at collisions of heavy multiply charged ions with light atoms and polarization losses at moving through the matter have been considered under circumstances the ion charge Z>>1 and the relative colliding velocity v>>1, so that Z~v=<c, where c - the light velocity (atomic units are used). In this region of parameters the Born approximation are not justificative. The simple formulas for effective stopping are obtained, the comparison with other theoretical results and experiments are given.
