RE: Range of protons in water

["Fulmer, Philip" <FulmerP@ttnus.com>]

If you have a copy of Jim Turner's book, "Atoms, Radiation, and
Radiation Protection," there's just such a table.  In my copy (1992
edition), it's Table 4.3 on page 82.  The table gives both stopping
power and range for protons in water from 0.01 up to 4000 MeV.  In
principle, I wouldn't expect a huge difference in the stopping power of
light water versus heavy water either.

Good luck.

Philip

Dear Radsafers

We need to know the approximate range of protons in water 
(preferentially heavy water, though I do not think there can be much 
difference from light water), in the energy range 1 to 10 MeV.
