Abstract: The stopping power of helium gas for 9Be ions from 2 to 31MeV is experimentally determined using an indirect method. The residual energy of the 9Be beam as a function of the gas thickness is measured and the stopping power determined by differentiating the thickness–energy curve. The results are compared with predictions of the semi-empirical codes SRIM-2003 and MSTAR. Our data are in better agreement with the MSTAR calculations. The elastic scattering excitation function for the system 9Be+ α, extracted using the thick target technique and our stopping power data, is in excellent agreement with the ones measured directly confirming the quality of our data.
