Abstract
The stopping power and range for electrons in matter are the most important parameters in predicting the consequences of the electrons interacting with matter. In this work, we used our previously developed method to calculate these parameters. In our calculation method, the main parameter is the velocity-dependent electronic charge density of the target, which we obtained by using Roothaan–Hartree–Fock (RHF) wave functions. For range calculations, we used the continuous slowdown approach (CSDA), which neglects the energy-loss fluctuations so the incident particle loses its energy in a medium continuously at a rate equal to the total stopping power. The stopping power and CSDA range values have been calculated for electrons incident on brain, breast, and eye tissues. Obtained results have been compared with the available data.
