nuclear stopping cross section

https://doi.org/10.1351/goldbook.09376

Stopping cross section arising from energy transfer to atomic nuclei of the sample.

Note: The maximum of the nuclear stopping cross section occurs at energies of the order of 1 keV per nucleon, whereas that of the electronic stopping cross section occurs at above 100 keV per nucleon. The absolute value of the electronic stopping cross section maximum is significantly greater than that of the nuclear stopping cross section.
