Range-energy relations for protons have been obtained for six substances (Be, C, Al, Cu, Pb, and air). The calculations of the energy loss dE/dx include the shell corrections at low energies and the density effect which becomes important in the high-energy region. The present results can also be used to determine the range of μ mesons up to {~}10 Bev. Besides the calculated values of the ranges, tables of the ionization loss dE/dx are also presented.
