Abstract
A dielectric energy loss rate is calculated analytically for a charged light particle moving in either a straightforward or diffusive way in polar media within the framework of the excluded sphere and the unifo rmly charged sphere approximations. Some drawbacks of previous conside rations are pointed out. As applications, we have calculated the energ y loss rates in the slowing down of electrons, positrons and muons in liquid water at room temperature.
