Cumulants of the spatial distribution function of ions implanted in solid have been calculated. Equation for distribution function takes into account a finite ion path between of elastic collisions with the target atoms. Comparison with results of Lindhard-Scharff-Schiott theory shown that cumulants of these distributions are differ each from other for ions energies lower than a few hundred keV, and at higher energies they are coincide. This is due to the small length of ion path between collisions in compared with its longitudinal and lateral stragglings.
