Mean energy loss and range

A test has been made against the distributions reported in [] for He ions at 1 and 10 MeV/A and for O and Pb ions at 1, 10 and 100 MeV/A in carbon and the results were found to be correct within $5$ both for the energy loss and the range.

Another comparison has been made with the tables of [] for 10 MeV/A ions in lead, with the results shown in table . Another comparison with the same tables is shown in Figs. and .

A comparison with the tables in [,] for T/A < 1 MeV/A gives an error on $(dE/dx)\; \le 10-20$ .
