Expand description
No electronic stopping: the nuclear-only limit.
NoStopping returns zero for every ion, target and energy, so a run
loses energy only in nuclear collisions. This is not a physical model of
any target. It is the k = 0 limit of the classical range theory, where
the electronic stopping coefficient vanishes and only nuclear stopping
remains (J. Lindhard, M. Scharff and H. E. Schiott, Mat. Fys. Medd. Dan.
Vid. Selsk. 33 (14) (1963)), and it serves two purposes here:
- like-for-like transport comparisons against a code run with its electronic stopping switched off, and
- nuclear-only checks (range and damage limits) that isolate the scattering and cascade machinery from any stopping model.
It has no energy range of its own: ElectronicStopping::validity is
unbounded, so no out-of-range warning is ever raised for it.
