float Acts::computeEnergyLossLandau(const MaterialSlab &slab, int pdg, float m, float qOverP, float q = UnitConstants::e)

Compute the most propable energy loss due to ionisation and excitation.

This computes the most probable energy loss -dE(x) through a material of the given properties and thickness as described by the mode of the Landau-Vavilov-Bichsel distribution. The computations are valid for intermediate particle energies.
