  • Abstract
    An approximate analytic solution of the Bethe equation for the mean rate of energy loss is derived. This solution is found to deviate by less than one percent from the numerical integration of the Bethe equation for all values of electron path. It is also shown that when the energy-path length relation is expressed in normalized variables, it exhibits only a very weak dependence on material and initial energy.
