Density-dependent Energy Loss of Protons in Pb and Be Targets and Percent Mass-Stopping Power from Bethe-Bloch Formula and Bichsel-Sternheimer Data Within 1 –12 MeV Energy Range: A Comparative Study Based on Bland-Altman Analysis

This comparative study calculated Bethe-Bloch results with Bichsel-Sternheimer values, employing the Bland-Altman analysis within 95% limit of agreement for the first time. The Bethe-Bloch formula was employed for the physical realization of the density-dependent energy loss of protons in lead (208Pb) and beryllium (9Be) targets in the energy range 1 –12 MeV.
