The energy losses of protons scattered by atoms of gold are measured in the impact‐parameter range of 0.4 ≦ ϱ/αTF ≦ 4.0 where α TF is the Thomas‐Fermi radius. If the penetration depth of a proton into the electronic shell of an atom increases, there occurs a peculiar saturation of the stopping power at ϱ/α TF ≧ 1 at the levels (0.35 ± 0.05), (0.45 ± 0.05), and (0.52 ± 0.05) keV/ atom for incident beam energies of 100, 200, and 400 keV, respectively.
