Abstract
Recent progress in theoretical modeling of ion channeling through carbon nanotubes is reviewed. Specific aspects of the high (GeV), medium (MeV), and low (keV) ranges of ion energy are discussed and contrasted. Conclusions are drawn in an attempt to assist in preparing experiments on this unique channeling system.
