A relativistic generalization of the Fokker–Planck formalism has been constructed. This is applied to the study of energy loss of high-energy electrons in plasma. Both the electron–electron and electron–ion scattering have been considered in a relativistic way. The expression obtained for the stopping power differs from that derived with the help of thermodynamic Green's function technique.

A quantum theory of the rates of momentum and energy loss by a fast electron to the optic modes of a polar crystal as a function of time elapsed since injection of the fast electron is developed. A nonequilibrium Green function technique is used to formulate the problem, and permits inclusion of quantum interference between the individual phonon processes. An approximation, which has been called the eikonal approximation in high energy scattering and is valid when the fractional electron energy loss in a single phonon collision is small, enables us to sum the resulting diagrams. The relationship of this method to a Boltzmann equation approach is discussed.

The identity of a particle is fixed by its mass, lifetime and quantum numbers such as charge, spin, parity and flavour. A particle’s identity can be inferred by observing its interactions in matter, as for example the shower development of an electron or a photon, the specific energy loss of charged particles, the emission of radiation by a particle or the penetration capability of a muon. The mass of a particle can be determined by measurements of specific energy loss, time-of-flight or Cherenkov radiation when combined with a momentum measurement. High energy electrons can be separated from heavier particles through transition radiation. For particles which decay in the detector the mass can often be kinematically reconstructed from the decay products and the lifetime can be determined by the reconstruction of secondary vertices.

Abstract A Computer program for following the trajectories of high energy ions in a fcc-lattice has been written to study the energy loss of 60 MeV 127I ions channeled between (100)- and (111)- planes of a Au-single crystal. The motion of the ions is treated classically. It is assumed that the ion has only one important interaction at a time as it moves through the lattice. The interaction potential used in the calculation is a screened Coulomb potential with a screening function derived from Thomas-Fermi-theory. The slowing down of the incident ions through inelastic encounters with the atoms of the medium is described by a stopping power function which increases exponentially with the distance from the midplane of the channel walls.
