ionizing particle

It seemed that radiation or "ionizing particles," if present, passed through a gas.

Particle therapy works by aiming energetic ionizing particles at the target tumor.

The cooperation of the two women referred to the photographic method of detecting ionizing particles.

When the intensely ionizing particles found in space strike human tissue, it can result in cell damage and may eventually lead to cancer.

During this interaction, energy is transferred from the gamma ray to the electron, which is a directly ionizing particle.

The alcohol vapour condenses around ion trails left behind by the travelling ionizing particles.

Radioactive decay is the process in which an unstable atomic nucleus loses energy by emitting ionizing particles and radiation.

Fano expected it to be between 1/3 and 1/2 for gases, for moderate energies of ionizing particles.

A device used to exude any signal, beacon, light, odor, liquid, fragrance, ionizing particles or any other type of signal.

Examples of other ionizing particles are alpha particles, beta particles, and cosmic rays, including natural muons .

Linear energy transfer (LET) is the linear density of energy lost by a charged ionizing particle travelling through matter.

In particle therapy (proton therapy being one example), energetic ionizing particles (protons or carbon ions) are directed at the target tumor.

In physics, a minimum ionizing particle (or mip) is a particle whose mean energy loss rate through matter is close to the minimum.

In practical cases, most relativistic particles (e.g., cosmic-ray muons) are minimum ionizing particles.

The total deposited charge is a direct measure of the energy of the ionizing particle (neutron or photon) entering the neutron detector.

In space, high energy ionizing particles exist as part of the natural background, referred to as galactic cosmic rays (GCR).

At the low doses of relevance to environmental radiation exposure, individual cells only rarely experience traversals by an ionizing particle and almost never experience more than one traversal.

When an ionizing particle passes through the chamber, water vapor condenses on the resulting ions and the trail of the particle is visible in the vapor cloud.

The technique involves the fact that ionizing particles that traverse materials such as Lexan plastic break chemical bonds, weakening the material along the path of the particle.

The stimulating radiation that induces these thermally generated acoustic waves may lie anywhere in the electromagnetic spectrum, from high-energy ionizing particles to low-energy radio waves.

When solar flares erupted and spewed planet-engulfing clouds of deadly ionizing particles through interplanetary space, a ship without shielding was little more than a coffin for its crew.

Due to different time of light emission for different types of ionizing particles, the alpha-beta discrimination technique has been developed for CWO scintillators.

To detect these particles, the project will utilize Nuclear Track detectors (NTDs), which suffer characteristic damage due to highly ionizing particles.

If light is used as a complementary signature, particle identification can be achieved through the heat-light ratio, where nucleus recoil is expected to be less luminescent than ionizing particles.

The enclosure is filled with carefully chosen gas, such as an argon/methane mix, such that any ionizing particle that passes through the tube will ionize surrounding gaseous atoms.
