The ordinate is the cross section * (@/z)?, where 8 = v/c is the velocity in units of the speed of light and ze is the charge of the incident particle. The squares are the experimental data by Lineberger, Hooper, and McDaniel,“the circles are those by Peart and Dolder,“* and the triangles are more recent data also by Peart and Dolder.“ Only representative error limits are shown for the experimental data. The error limits for the theoretical cross sections given at In [62/(1 — 6*)] — 8? = —3 are independent of incident energy, contrary to the tendency in experiment.
