8. Main interactions of particles with matter

8.1 Electron-heavy ion interactions: common concepts

When it comes to characterizing the mechanisms of particle-matter interaction, whether nuclear or, more classically, Coulombic, two concepts are fundamental: the stopping power or LET (Linear Energy Transfer) and the interaction cross section.

8.1.1 Stop power or LET

As will be explained in section 8.3, as charged particles pass through matter, they progressively lose energy. The stopping power or LET is defined by dE/dx. The LET has two...
