Abstract
In this paper we calculate the total stopping power (collision and radiative) for positrons within the range of energies (0.02 – 50) MeV for two elements (carbon and silver), also we calculate continuous slowing down range (CSDA) for the same elements by using P. Bal etal. formula in the energy range (5-1000) MeV. The results were compared with the data of ICRU which shows a good agreement.
