    Study Notes

    Particle Dynamics and Interactions

    • Lighter particles travel farther than heavier particles due to their higher velocities and lower mass, which reduces energy loss in interactions.
    • Alpha particles have a greater charge compared to beta particles, influencing their interactions with matter.
    • Beta particles have a lesser charge than alpha particles.
    • Heavier particles generally have less energy than lighter particles due to their greater mass and slower speeds.

    Kinetic Energy Loss Mechanisms

    • Coulomb interactions with orbital electrons lead to several types of kinetic energy loss in absorbers.
    • The term for the loss of kinetic energy due to these interactions is collisional loss when particles excite or ionize orbital electrons.
    • Final collisions occur when the particle has lost all kinetic energy and interacts with an orbital electron due to Coulomb attraction, referred to as the final collision.
    • Radiation loss in an absorber medium, specifically due to bremsstrahlung when interacting with the nucleus, is categorized as radiation loss.

    Electron Capture and Ionization

    • The process of capturing an electron from an atom by an incident particle is known as electron capture.
    • Ionization occurs when an atom loses one or more electrons, resulting in charged ions, while excitation involves an electron moving to a higher energy level without being removed from the atom.

    Additional Knowledge and Context

    • Non-ionizing radiation does not have sufficient energy to ionize atoms or molecules.
    • Alpha particles do not travel as far in an absorber medium as beta particles due to their larger mass and greater interaction with matter.
    • Ionization and excitation significantly differ as ionization creates charged species, while excitation only raises energy levels without full electron removal.

    General Knowledge

    • Capital city of France is Paris.
    • Largest planet in our solar system is Jupiter.
    • Smallest continent is Australia.
    • Highest mountain in the world is Mount Everest.
    • Largest ocean is the Pacific Ocean.
