Abstract

We study the ionization and light yields produced by nuclear recoils at low energies in pure crystals and noble liquids in the context of Lindhard’s integral equation, incorpo- rating the effects of binding energy, improved modeling of the electronic stopping, and electronic straggling. We consider three different models for the electronic stopping power that incorporate Coulomb repulsion effects at low energies, and Bohr electronic stripping for high energies. Finally, we discuss possible new effects near threshold.

List of changes

in introduction you say "pure crystals" - be more specific what do you mean: We have add instead Si and Ge ionization detectors. -" by the an ion" the or an?: was change "by the ion" -takes in to account -> into: changed -formula (2) please explain variables for clarity: we have put some description to the relevant quantities that appear in Eq. 2. -in introduction you state that Lindhard equation describes data for Si below 4keV accurately, later you state that it fails. Can you make it more clear?: Here not confuse Lindhard integral equation with Lindhard parametrization model, are different. For the sake of clearness, we have added a footnote and giving more emphasis that one is Lindhard parametrization and the other is the numerical solution of Lindhard integral equation with constant binding energy.
"most of then"? or them?: them, changed.
CM frame?: changed by center of mass.
"Low and high energy effects for Se"? Se - write with words: done
the main facts ignored?: changed to "To affront this limitations"
we are going to consider?: changed to we considered.
give numbers to all formulas: done
