Abstract

An expression for the stopping power is derived in the quantum T-matrix approximation. The transport cross sections needed for a numerical evaluation are calculated using a scattering phase-shift analysis. Numerical results are given for the stopping power of an electron beam running into an electron gas. The temperature and density dependencies of the stopping power are discussed. Finally, dynamical screening is included in the weak coupling limit according to a kinetic equation proposed by H.A. Gould and H.E. DeWitt.
