Abstract
Yang’s model [Phys. Rev. Lett. 84, 599 (1951)] for the scattering of charged particles assumes a constant energy for the penetrating particles. This constraint has been removed in this work by allowing the loss of particle energy to be proportional to the depth of penetration. Exact solutions are found in the form of convergent series for cases I and II defined by Yang. The consistency of these solutions with Yang’s solutions for constant energy is verified.
