Differential Cross Section and Related Integrals for the Moliere Potential.

Abstract

The Moliere potential is widely used in radiation-damage simulation studies. It is not much used in transport theory calculations because of the awkward expression for the differential cross section corresponding to the potential. Within the framework of the Lindhard treatment of atomic cross sections, is developed an easy-to-use fit, accurate to 6%, to the Moliere cross section. Simple forms for several related quantities are also presented.
