Popis: In this paper, angular distributions of slow H+ ions transmitted through different targets (Al, Ag and Au) are calculated using the model of Sigmund and Winterbon (SW) in the multiple scattering theory. Valdes and Arista (VA) developed a method extending the SW model by including the effect of energy loss in the calculation of angular distributions of transmitted ions. Another method has been proposed for such calculations: one can consider the SW model by using an average value for the energy of the ions inside the target. In this contribution, a new expression is proposed for the mean energy which gives a better agreement with the VA model than the precedent one at low energy. Different potentials have been considered to describe the interaction projectile-target atom in this study and the new expression is found to be independent of the interaction potential.
