We have calculated the inelastic mean free path, stopping power, and energy-loss straggling of swift electron, proton, and α-particle beams in a broad incident energy range in four organic polymers: poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA), Kapton, polyacetylene (PA), and poly(2-vinylpyridine) (P2VP). These…
