Description: The stopping of infalling protons in a strong magnetic field is studied in detail using linear response theory and a Monte Carlo code. The calculations include both Coulomb collisions with atmospheric electrons and collective forces due to the resonant excitation of the atmospheric electron plasma modes by the impinging protons. Graphs are presented showing how both energy and momentum are deposited in the atmosphere by the flow. A striking dependence of the deceleration on the temperature is found which distinguishes the magnetic from the nonmagnetic process.
