Particle therapy — Intervention ICD 9: 92.26 Particle therapy is a form of external beam radiotherapy using beams of energetic protons, neutrons, or positive ions for cancer treatment. The most common … Wikipedia
Particle shower — In particle physics, a shower is a cascade of secondary particles produced as the result of a high energy particle interacting with dense matter. The incoming particle interacts, producing multiple new particles with lesser energy; each of these… … Wikipedia
Cryogenic particle detectors — operate at very low temperature, typically only a few degrees above absolute zero. These sensors interact with an energetic elementary particle (such as a photon) and deliver a signal which can be related to the type of particle and the nature of … Wikipedia
Alpha particle — Alpha particles (named after and denoted by the first letter in the Greek alphabet, α) consist of two protons and two neutrons bound together into a particle identical to a helium nucleus; hence, it can be written as He2+ or 42He2+. They are a… … Wikipedia
subatomic particle — or elementary particle Any of various self contained units of matter or energy. Discovery of the electron in 1897 and of the atomic nucleus in 1911 established that the atom is actually a composite of a cloud of electrons surrounding a tiny but… … Universalium
Wave–particle duality — Quantum mechanics Uncertainty principle … Wikipedia
Beta particle — Beta particles are high energy, high speed electrons or positrons emitted by certain types of radioactive nuclei such as potassium 40. The beta particles emitted are a form of ionizing radiation also known as beta rays. The production of beta… … Wikipedia
Virtual particle — In physics, a virtual particle is a particle that exists for a limited time and space, introducing uncertainty in their energy and momentum due to the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle. (Indeed, because energy and momentum in quantum mechanics are … Wikipedia
Linear particle accelerator — A linear particle accelerator (also called a linac) is an electrical device for the acceleration of subatomic particles. This sort of particle accelerator has many applications, from the generation of X rays in a hospital environment, to an… … Wikipedia
Magnetosphere particle motion — A sketch of Earth s magnetic field representing the source of Earth s magnetic field as a magnet The north pole of earth is near the top of the diagram, the south pole near the bottom. Notice that the south pole of that magnet is deep in Earth s… … Wikipedia
