Energy loss of fast protons in single collisions with noble gas atoms

Abstract

We have measured energy loss spectra of 100 keV protons interacting with noble gas atoms in small angle scattering under single collision conditions. We obtain from our experiments with high angular and energy resolution the mean energy loss and the energy straggling as function of the angle of scattering range from 0.3 to 6 mrad.
