TLDR
In this paper, the theory of the loss of energy of a non-accelerated particle in a material medium is investigated using classical electrodynamics. But the results of Fermi, Halpern and Hall, Wick and A. Bohr are generalized and further extended.Abstract:
The theory of the loss of energy of a non accelerated charged particle in a material medium is investigated, using classical electrodynamics. Special attention is given to the mechanism of the loss. The results of Fermi, Halpern and Hall, Wick and A. Bohr are generalized and further extended. The points of view of action at a distance (Bohr) and field theory (Fermi) are discussed and compared. The mechanism of the emission of Cerenkov radiation is examined and the relations with the emission of acceleration radiation analysed.read more

Characteristic Energy Losses of Electrons in Solids
TL;DR: In this paper, an overview of the information acquired on the characteristic energy losses of electrons and describes the methods and instruments used in the measurements, which show that the observed characteristic energy loss are, in first approximation at least, independent of the methods used in their observation.

The relativistic rise of the track density in bubble chambers
TL;DR: In this paper, a quantitative description of the ionization-energy dependence for relativistic particles in bubble chambers filled with various liquids is presented. But the authors assume that the track density is proportional to the number of collisions per unit length with the energy transfer exceeding the definite "effective" threshold energy but not to the specific energy loss in such collisions as usually assumed.

On the energy lost by a relativistic ionizing particle in a material medium and on the cerenkov radiation
TL;DR: In this article, a general formula for the energy lost by a relativistic ionizing particle in a polarizable material medium is studied by considering separately the energy dissipated in proximity of the track of the particle, and that which is sent at a larger distance as radiation (Cerenkov radiation).

B. R. Nag,Abul Maksud Sayied +1 more
TL;DR: The generalized Frank & Tamm's formula for the total energy radiated as Cerenkov radiation by a swiftly moving charged particle in a medium of dielectric constant and permeability was derived employing the invariance of the phenomenological electrodynamic equations of Maxwell as mentioned in this paper.

Interaction with the Absorber as the Mechanism of Radiation
TL;DR: In this paper, Niels Bohr pointed out that further advance into this region will require a still more extensive renunciation of features which we are accustomed to demand of the space time mode of description.

II. On the theory of the decrease of velocity of moving electrified particles on passing through matter
TL;DR: The theory of the decrease of velocity of moving electrified particles on passing through matter has been studied in this paper, where it has been shown that the velocity decreases with the number of particles passing through the material.

The Ionization Loss of Energy in Gases and in Condensed Materials
TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that the loss of energy of a fast charged particle due to ionization of the material through which it is passing is considerably affected by the density of material.
