The energy loss of charged particles, including electrons, protons, andα-particles with tens keV initial energyE0, traveling in the hot dense carbon (C) plasma for densities from 2.281 to 22.81 g/cm3and temperatures from 400 to 1500 eV is systematically and quantitatively studied by using the dimensional continuation method. The behaviors of different charged particles are readily distinguishable from each other. Firstly, because an ion is thousands times heavier than an electron, the penetration distance of the electron is much longer than that of proton andα-particle traveling in the plasma. Secondly, most energy of electron projectile withE0< 100 keV deposits into the electron species of C plasma, while for the cases of proton andα-particle withE0< 100 keV, about more than half energy transfers into the ion species of C plasma. A simple decreasing law of the penetration distance as a function of the plasma density is fitted, and different behaviors of each projectile particle can be clearly found from the fitted data. We believe that with the advanced progress of the present experimental technology, the findings shown here could be confirmed in ion-stopping experiments in the near future.
