Abstract:Energy losses of test particles in magnetized two-component plasmas are investigated within the framework of the linearized Vlasov-Poisson theory, taking into account the dynamic polarization effects of both the plasma ions and electrons. General expressions of the potential and stopping power are obtained and calculations are performed for protons in a magnetized hydrogen plasma. The influences of the magnetic field, the angle between the proton velocity and magnetic field, and certain plasma parameters on the stopping power are studied. Numerical results show that for low particle velocities and strong magnetic field the dynamic polarization effects of the plasma ions become obvious and contribute mainly to the stopping power.
