Analytical approximations of the Lindhard equations describing radiation effects

Abstract

Starting from the general Lindhard theory describing the partition of particles energy in materials between ionisation and displacements, analytical approximate solutions have been derived, for media containing one and more atomic species, for particles identical and different to the medium ones. Particular cases, and the limits of these equations at very high energies are discussed.
