Range of Medium and High Energy Protons and Alpha Particles in NaI Scintillator

We have calculated the range of proton and alpha particle in NaI scintillator which is a commonly used substance in scintillation detector manufacturing. The stopping power of proton and alpha particle in NaI is calculated first by using the theoretical treatment of Montenegro et al.^[1]. The range calculation has been performed by using a technique that we developed in the earlier works^[2,3]. We compared the results with Monte Carlo simulation program SRIM2003 and PRAL^[4]. The obtained results are in satisfactory agreement with the literature."
