Relevant Fields:
Concept
Electronic stopping power is a measure of the energy loss per unit path length experienced by a charged particle as it traverses a material, primarily due to interactions with the electrons in the material. It plays a crucial role in fields such as radiation physics and materials science, influencing the design of radiation detectors and the understanding of radiation damage in materials.
Concept
Particle beams are streams of charged or neutral particles, such as electrons, protons, or ions, accelerated to high velocities for applications in scientific research, medicine, and industry. They are pivotal in technologies like particle accelerators, which probe fundamental physics, and in medical therapies like cancer treatment through targeted radiation.
