Abstract
An ‘‘optical‐data’’ model for describing the dielectric response function of a medium was introduced earlier to predict energy‐loss rate and inelastic mean free path for low‐energy (<10‐keV) electrons and positrons. The model is used here to calculate energy‐loss probabilities for electrons, positrons, and protons for use in Monte Carlo calculations or other theoretical simulations. Results for the cumulative interaction probabilities are illustrated using optical data for carbon.
