Landau theory

The Landau probability distribution may be written in terms of the universal Landau function .

Restrictions

The Landau formalism makes two restrictive assumptions:

The typical energy loss is small.

The typical energy loss in the absorber should be large (see section ).

Urbán model

The following values are obtained:

16162000 29.63100 27.5910032.00
