Abstract:
The energy losses of fast charged particles colliding with atoms have been considered in the eikonal
approximation. It has been shown that the nonperturbative contribution to the effective stopping from the region of the intermediate impact parameters (comparable with the characteristic sizes of the electron shells of the target) not only can be significant as compared to shell corrections to the Bethe–Bloch formula (usually considered in the first order of perturbation theory), but also can provide significant (up to $50$%) corrections to this formula.
