Cross sections for the stopping of swift protons in liquid water have been measured for the first time by using a liquid water jet target of 50 mu m in diameter. The energy loss spectra of incident 2.0 MeV protons were measured at scattering angles of 5.0-50 mrad. Experimental energy loss spectra have been successfully reproduced by Monte Carlo simulation calculations (GEANT4.9.1.p02 toolkit) by taking account of multiple scattering of projectile ions inside the liquid water target. The present stopping cross sections are found to be considerably smaller than other standard stopping power data, revealing e. g. about 11% deviation from those of SRIM2003. (C) 2009 Elsevier B. V.
