Both the quoted values for the Birks' constant do not make sense dimensionally. Thasaidon (talk) 06:50, 15 October 2012 (UTC)Reply

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}

Also the reference 4 is not existing... --2001:620:400:9:0:0:0:57 (talk) 11:47, 23 November 2012 (UTC)Reply

I believe the fomula should be set with mathrm d:

{\frac {\mathrm {d} L}{\mathrm {d} x}}=S{\frac {\frac {\mathrm {d} E}{\mathrm {d} x}}{1+k_{B}{\frac {\mathrm {d} E}{\mathrm {d} x}}}}.
