Popis: Applying a recently suggested new form [Phys. Rev. A {\bf 94}, 042704 (2016)] for the stopping power in terms of scattering phase shifts, here we show analytically that an exact leading phase shift may contain that information which is completely enough to characterize the asymptotic charge-sign-independent Bethe term ($\propto{Z_1^2}$) and a charge-sign-dependent Barkas term ($\propto{Z_1^3}$) in the stopping force of a degenerate electron gas for fast projectiles with charge $Z_1$. Our analytic implementation is based on a Hulth\'en-type potential with velocity-dependent screening. The next term in an asymptotic expansion, the Bloch term ($\propto{Z_1^4}$), measures the difference of the exact and first-order Born treatments with Coulomb potential. We found a reduced value for the Barkas term, in comparison with the conventional estimation which rests on the transport cross section.
