Energy straggling for fast proton beams in Ni, Al, Ti, Cu, In and Sb solids and N, O, F, B, S, Cl and air gases were calculated using an effective IPM potential which contains an adjustable parameter. The energy and Z₂ (target atomic number) dependence of the energy straggling for proton in materials are obtained when Bonderup and Hvelplund's formulation is used. The results are compared with some experiments in detail, and show in good agreement with them.
