5. Interactions with ionizing radiation
The interaction between a particle and matter is complex, mainly in the case of rather high-energy particles. In this contribution, we restrict the description to the most detected/used particles. The phenomena are generally split into 3 cases: X and γ photons, α particles, and neutrons.
5.1 Interaction with X or γ photons
The linear interaction probability μ (cm –1 ) of an X or γ photon is given by the formula :
