In summary, "Calculate the energy-loss straggling of particles using LISE++" discusses the application of the LISE++ software to simulate and analyze the energy-loss straggling of charged particles as they traverse matter. The process involves inputting parameters related to particle types, energies, and target materials, allowing for the calculation of energy loss distributions and fluctuations. The results help in understanding the interactions of particles with matter, which is crucial for various fields including nuclear physics and radiation therapy.

TL;DR Summary: how to calculate the total energy straggling of particles in a detector array

Hello everyone,

I am trying to calculate the energy loss and straggling of alpha particles with same energy, I used LISE++ to obtain the energy loss in every layer of the materials using Spectrometer Design of LISE++, but I can only calculate the energy-loss straggling layer by layer. Does anyone know the way to obtain the energy-loss straggling caused by every layer?

Any help would be appreciated.
