Bethe formula
The Bethe formula, or Bethe–Bloch formula, is a physics equation for the rate, or stopping power, at which fast charged particles lose energy ionizing matter.
Bragg peak
The Bragg peak is the sharp maximum in energy deposition that a charged particle produces near the end of its path through matter, the basis of proton cancer therapy.
Swift heavy ion
A swift heavy ion is a heavy ion accelerated to about 1 MeV per atomic mass unit or more, used to create nanoscale tracks and test radiation hardness.
