Abstract
The stopping power of gaseous hydrogen for positive and negative muons at energies ranging from 3 to 100 keV has been measured by time-of-fl ight. A pronounced Barkas effect was observed: the energy loss in hydr ogen for negative muons was found to be significantly smaller than tha t for positive muons.
