This book offers a concise presentation of theoretical concepts
characterizing and quantifying the slowing down of swift heavy ions
in matter. Although the penetration of charged particles through
matter has been studied for almost a hundred years, the
quantitative theory for swift penetrating ions heavier than helium
has been developed mainly during the past decade and is still
progressing rapidly. The book addresses scientists and engineers
working at accelerators with an interest in materials analysis and
modification, medical diagnostics and therapy, mass spectrometry
and radiation damage, as well as atomic and nuclear physicists.
Although not a textbook, this monograph represents a unique source
of state-of-the-art information that is useful to a university
teacher in any course involving the interaction of charged
particles with matter.
