Talk:Birks' law

Both the quoted values for the Birks' constant do not make sense dimensionally. Thasaidon (talk) 06:50, 15 October 2012 (UTC)
 * I agree, also the numbers seem wrong. Correct values seem to be in IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON NUCLEAR SCIENCE, VOL. 39, NO. 4,1992, they are typically around $$0.8 \sim 1.0 \cdot 10^{-2} g \cdot cm^{-2} MeV^{-1}$$ --2001:620:400:9:0:0:0:57 (talk) 11:41, 23 November 2012 (UTC)
 * Also the reference 4 is not existing... --2001:620:400:9:0:0:0:57 (talk) 11:47, 23 November 2012 (UTC)

I believe the fomula should be set with mathrm d:
 * $$ \frac{\mathrm dL}{\mathrm dx} = S \frac{\frac{\mathrm dE}{\mathrm dx}}{1+k_B\frac{\mathrm dE}{\mathrm dx}}.$$
