Phys Rev E Stat Nonlin Soft Matter Phys. 2009 Oct;80(4 Pt 2):046408. doi: 10.1103/PhysRevE.80.046408. Epub 2009 Oct 28.

Abstract

We extend former investigation to a partially degenerate electron fluid at any temperature of multiple slow ion scattering at T=0. We implement an analytic and mean-field interpolation of the target electron dielectric function between T=0 (Lindhard) and T-->infinity (Fried-Conte). A specific attention is given to multiple scattering of proton projectiles in the keV energy range, stopped in a hot-electron plasma at solid density.
