Abstract

A nonlinear theory of ion stopping in classical ideal plasmas is formulated on the basis of formalism of higher-order dielectric functions accounting for nonlinear relationship between polarisation and electric fields generated in plasma by the projectile ion. Corrections to the linear theory corresponding to the Barkas effect are evaluated explicitly. The result differs (what concerns the numerical coefficient) from that following from the harmonic oscillator model.
