linear energy transfer technical , LET (Abkürzung)

Linear energy transfer is closely related to stopping power, since both equal the retarding force.

The distribution of linear energy transfer or 'ion density' for fast neutrons in water.

Linear energy transfer (LET) is a term used in dosimetry.

Linear electronic stopping power is identical to unrestricted linear energy transfer.

Radiation with higher linear energy transfer tends to have a lower OER.

The kind of radiation found in space is known as high linear energy transfer (LET) radiation.

Linear energy transfer.

Such hydrogen nuclei are high linear energy transfer particles, and are in turn stopped by ionization of the material through which they travel.

This is called "linear energy transfer" (LET), which utilizes elastic scattering.

While medical physicists and radiobiologists usually speak of linear energy transfer, most non-medical physicists talk about stopping power.

Beta rays are more penetrating than alpha rays, but internal exposure will tend to do less damage because the linear energy transfer is lower.

In designing an effective biological shield, proper attention must be made to the linear energy transfer of the particles as they propagate through the shield.

Many studies have attempted to relate linear energy transfer to the relative biological effectiveness (RBE) of radiation, with inconsistent results.

The critical angle, normal incidence diameter, and track etching rates versus linear energy transfer (LET) were obtained from these measurements.

Given the high linear energy transfer potential of such particles, a considerable proportion of those cells exposed to HZE radiation are likely to die.

The magnitude of the effects of radiation on water is dependent on the type and energy of the radiation, namely its linear energy transfer.

A reduced set of 80 isotopes is sufficient to represent the charge distribution alone and represents reasonably well the linear energy transfer properties of the iron beam.

The amount of energy deposited as the particles traverse a section of tissue is referred to as the linear energy transfer (LET).

The involvement of the tumor suppressor p53 gene in the sensitivity of many cell types towards low linear energy transfer (LET) radiation is now well established.

Theoretical and experimental studies of free-radical yields in oriented DNA samples exposed to ionizing radiation with high linear energy transfer at 77 K are discussed.

The utilization of high linear energy transfer (LET) radiations, such as fast neutrons or carbon ions (hadrontherapy), offers promising perspectives in radiotherapy.

The NRC quality factors are independent of linear energy transfer, though not always equal to the ICRP radiation weighting factors.

Particles with linear energy transfer (LET) between 10 and 200 keV/μm are available utilizing beams of protons, deuterons, helium-3, and helium-4 ions.

DOSIMETRY: Basic concepts: exposure, dose, linear energy transfer, quality factor, dose equivalent.

The biological effects of α-particles (high linear energy transfer, LET) are in general much greater than the effects of β-particles and γ-rays (low LET).
