Säteilyionisaatiolla
Säteilyionisaatiolla refers to the process by which ionizing radiation interacts with matter, causing atoms or molecules to lose or gain electrons, thus becoming ionized. This phenomenon is a fundamental aspect of radiation physics and has significant implications across various scientific and medical fields. Ionizing radiation, such as alpha particles, beta particles, gamma rays, and X-rays, possesses enough energy to dislodge electrons from their atomic orbits. When this occurs, the atom or molecule is transformed into an ion.
The ionization process can occur directly or indirectly. Direct ionization happens when the radiation particle itself
Säteilyionisaatiolla is a key mechanism in applications such as radiation therapy for cancer treatment, where it
