An account is given of the experimental determination of the range-energy relations for protons and alpha-particles in diluted Ilford G5 emulsions. The results are compared with those calculated by a method described by Webb. The range-energy relations for protons in the energy range from 2.5 MeV to 9 MeV can be represented by the empirical formulae E=0.227R0.602, E=0.221R0.595, E=0.220R0.583 for Ilford G5, G5 × 2 and G5 × 4 emulsions respectively, where E is in MeV and R in microns.
