Background: The aim of study is to calculated the range using mathematical equations due of the charged particles of heavy (alpha particles and oxygen) falling on the water and Kapton compound in energy range of (0.01-1000) MeV. Materials and Methods: The calculations were compared with the experimental data of the ASTAR code for alpha particles and SRIM2013 program for alpha particles and oxygen. Results: This comparison showed a good agreement with experimental data with a correlation coefficient (r = 0.99). Range values obtained from the application of equations are increased by increasing the energy of heavy charged particles. A stopping power in matter described using –dE/dx=a(E) + b(E)E. The results of these stopping power are contributions and continuous-slowing-down ranges given to elements, compounds, mixtures, and biological material of incident kinetic energy. Tables of the contributions to b(E) are given for the same materials. Conclusion: The correlation coefficient values calculated are 0.99 for water and Kapton compound.
