Conformity between linear response and binary collision treatments of an ion energy loss in a magnetized quantum plasma

In this paper the energy loss of a heavy ion moving in a magnetized quantum electron plasma is considered within the linear response and binary collision treatments. Treating the electron-ion interaction force as a small perturbation to the electron nth Landau level we show within the second order perturbation theory the conformity between these two models.Received: 8 August 2003PACS: 52.40.Mj Particle beam interactions in plasmas - 34.50.Bw Energy loss and stopping power - 03.65.Nk Scattering theory - 52.20.Hv Atomic, molecular, ion, and heavy-particle collisions
