Theoretical and experimental aspects of the energy loss of relativistic heavily ionizing particles

TLDR: In this article, the theory of the electromagnetic interactions between rapidly moving charged particles and the matter through which they pass is reviewed and the stopping power of the projectile and the response of the absorbing medium to the excitation caused by the projectile is considered.

Abstract: We review the theory of the electromagnetic interactions between rapidly moving charged particles and the matter through which they pass. The emphasis will be on very massive electric ($\ensuremath{-}100\ensuremath{\le}{Z}_{1}100$) and magnetic ($|g|=137e \mathrm{and} \frac{137e}{2}$) particles moving with relativistic velocities ($\ensuremath{\beta}g0.2$, $\ensuremath{\gamma}l100$). Consideration will be given to both the stopping power of the projectile and to the response of the absorbing medium to the excitation caused by the projectile.
