Energy loss calculation

Physics, Transport and Magnetic Fields

Dear FLUKA experts,

I’m trying to write my own energy loss calculation code for heavy charged particles and I wonder how FLUKA calculate the energy loss. I’m particularly interested on boron-11 target and incident proton with energy range 0-1 MeV. In this conditions, what is the exact equation for Bethe-Bloch and which corrections is used in formula?

Best regards,
Selman

Dear Selman,

See slide 13 in https://indico.cern.ch/event/753612/contributions/3121530/attachments/1974724/3286239/Ionization_and_Transport_2019.pdf

Note that you can request printing the stopping power explicitly used by FLUKA with the DELTARAY card, SDUM=PRINT.
