The modified Firsov model has been applied to the calculation of the electronic stopping cross-section of compounds for low energy protons by using molecular orbitals. We used the Symmetry Adapted Linear Combination of Atomic Orbitals representation of molecular orbitals, instead of Floating Spheric

β¦ Synopsis
Cross sections for the stopping of swift protons in liquid water have been measured for the first time by using a liquid water jet target of 50 lm in diameter. The energy loss spectra of incident 2.0 MeV protons were measured at scattering angles of 5.0-50 mrad. Experimental energy loss spectra have been successfully reproduced by Monte Carlo simulation calculations (GEANT4.9.1.p02 toolkit) by taking account of multiple scattering of projectile ions inside the liquid water target. The present stopping cross sections are found to be considerably smaller than other standard stopping power data, revealing e.g. about 11% deviation from those of SRIM2003.

Energy loss spectra of 4.0 MeV helium ions after penetrating through liquid phase ethanol have been measured at scattering angles from 10 to 50 mrad. Experimental data were fitted with Monte Carlo simulations using a GEANT4 toolkit, and stopping cross-sections were deduced in an energy range from 1.
In order to optimize the production of 118Te in thick targets for use in a 118Te/118Sb radionuclide generator, the excitation function for the 121Sb(p,4n)118Te reaction has been measured for 30-46 MeV protons. The excitation functions for the competing reactions natSb(p,xn)119mTe, natSb(p,xn)119Te,
