A calibrated silicon detector provided range-energy data for Cf²⁵² fission fragments in H₂, D₂, N₂ and Mylar. Bohr's classical stopping-power theory and Lindhard's more recent Thomas-Fermi model both underestimate the measured energy losses. For both theories, the discrepancy with experiment is a monotonic function of the atomic number of the stopping material, at least for the limited range of materials studied.
