I'd like to plot a Bragg curve for an alpha particle in air. I'd like to make one plot for 239Pu (5.156 MeV alpha) and one plot for 238U (4.267 MeV). Does anyone know how I can do this? I would like a basic plot of stopping power (MeV/cm) vs path length (cm). Thank you

Hi people, I am looking for a database where I can get raw data to plot the Bragg's curve for alpha particles energy loss vs range in Silicon, Germanium and CZT. Your help will be much appreciated. Cheers, Shri

Hi PF! I have a list of numbers, and I'm trying to plot each constant value on a 1-unit long interval. What I'm trying is this a = Table[i, {i, 2, 8}]; For[i = 1, i < 5, i++, Plot[a[[i]], {x, i - 1, i}] // Print] but that generates plots that are not on the same axes. Any help?

Hi PF! I type the following into Mathematica: domain = -10; ListPlot[{0.3}, PlotMarkers -> {{"\[LongDash]", Large}}, PlotRange -> {{0, 5.5}, {-10, 200}}] And notice we see the plot 0.3. But, now let domain = 0. Notice now we can't see 0.3. Does anyone know how to fix this?

how do you define x to be from minus pi to plus pi in matlab? i tried: x = -pi : piBut when i said plot (x,y) Matlab says: "Error using plot Data must be numeric, datetime, duration or an array convertible to double" (i already defined y interms of x, that function is ok) so i culd not...

i could use a bit of tutelage with Matlab. I have a rather simple equation I would like to plot. I want to create a rational series of primes divided by their corresponding W value from the equation I have. P are primes 2,3,5,7,11,13... I am still working on this. Thanks
