Conclusions
1. For thin absorbers, the Landau theory incorporating certain above-listed corrections is a general-purpose one and is in good agreement with experiment both for heavy and light charged particlesи ⪞ 0.01. 2. For intermediate layers (0.01 ≤и ⪝ 1 andи ⪞ 1), exact solutions are provided by the Vavilov theory [11]. 3. The numerical-analytic method of plotting the energy loss distribution function proposed in [13] is suitable for very thin (и ≪ 0.01) absorbers.
