A Plotting a Bragg Curve in SRIM

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

It isn't a Bragg curve, but by clicking the "stopping range / tables" feature I can get the range data for the alpha particle (below). The only problem is I can only seem to input an element (e.g. helium) and not an alpha particle itself. Is 37.60 mm about right for a 5.156 MeV helium / alpha particle in air?==================================================================

Toponium is a hadron which is the bound state of a valance top quark and a valance antitop quark. Oversimplified presentations often state that top quarks don't form hadrons, because they decay to bottom quarks extremely rapidly after they are created, leaving no time to form a hadron. And, the vast majority of the time, this is true. But, the lifetime of a top quark is only an average lifetime. Sometimes it decays faster and sometimes it decays slower. In the highly improbable case that...
I'm following this paper by Kitaev on SL(2,R) representations and I'm having a problem in the normalization of the continuous eigenfunctions (eqs. (67)-(70)), which satisfy \langle f_s | f_{s'} \rangle = \int_{0}^{1} \frac{2}{(1-u)^2} f_s(u)^* f_{s'}(u) \, du. \tag{67} The singular contribution of the integral arises at the endpoint u=1 of the integral, and in the limit u \to 1, the function f_s(u) takes on the form f_s(u) \approx a_s (1-u)^{1/2 + i s} + a_s^* (1-u)^{1/2 - i s}. \tag{70}...
