<stitle>Landau theory</stitle>
<p> The Landau probability distribution may be written in
terms of the universal Landau function <cite refid="bib-LAND"/> .

<subsection>
<stitle>Restrictions</stitle>
<p>The Landau formalism makes two restrictive assumptions:</p>
<lalist class="enumerate">
<item><p>The typical energy loss is small.</p></item>
<item><p>The typical energy loss in the absorber should be
large (see section <ref refid="urban"/> ).</p></item>
