A closed-form solution to HZE propagation

An analytic solution for high energy heavy ion transport assuming straightahead and velocity conserving interactions with constant nuclear cross reactions is given in terms of a Green's function. The series solution for the Green's function is rapidly convergent for most practical applications. The green's function technique can be applied with equal success to laboratory beams as well as to galactic cosmic rays allowing laboratory validation of the resultant space shielding code.
