Linear electronic stopping power is identical to unrestricted linear energy transfer.
2.
Such hydrogen nuclei are high linear energy transfer particles, and are in turn stopped by ionization of the material through which they travel.
3.
Linear energy transfer is closely related to stopping power has the nuclear stopping power component, and this component does not cause electronic excitations.
4.
The amount of energy deposited as the particles traverse a section of tissue is referred to as the linear energy transfer ( LET ).
5.
The magnitude of the effects of radiation on water is dependent on the type and energy of the radiation, namely its linear energy transfer.
6.
While medical physicists and radiobiologists usually speak of " linear energy transfer ", most non-medical physicists talk about " stopping power ".
7.
Also, types of radiation are discriminated based on their "'linear energy transfer ( LET ) "'which is a number describing the amount of energy deposited per unit length.
8.
Photons and beta particles have a low linear energy transfer coefficient, meaning that they ionize atoms in the tissue that are spaced by several hundred nanometers ( several tenths of a micrometer ) apart, along their path.
9.
An important factor that distinguishes different radiation types from one another is the linear energy transfer ( ? particles, positrons ) and interact sparsely along their path through the absorber, leading to isolated regions of reactive radical species.
10.
The ionization patterns in molecules, tissues, and the resulting biological insults are distinct from high-energy photon radiation x-rays and gamma rays, which produce low-linear energy transfer ( low-LET ) radiation from secondary electrons.
