|---|
Projected ranges of protons in water vapour were experimentally determined for proton energies from 1 to 100 keV by counting the total number of ionizations produced by protons during their slow down. Using these experimental ranges and semiemprical detour factors, the stopping powers of water vapour for protons were derived and compared with semiempirical data.
