\(S_a = \frac{S}{n}\), where \(S\) is the total linear stopping power and \(n\) is the number density of the atoms in the substance.

The "Total Atomic Stopping Power" for an ionizing particle passing through an element, is the particle's energy loss per atom within a unit area normal to the particle's path; equal to the linear energy transfer (energy loss per unit path length) divided by the number of atoms per unit volume.
