  2. Stopping power (particle radiation) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stopping_power_(particle...

    Electronic stopping refers to the slowing down of a projectile ion due to the inelastic collisions between bound electrons in the medium and the ion moving through it. The term inelastic is used to signify that energy is lost during the process (the collisions may result both in excitations of bound electrons of the medium, and in excitations of the electron cloud of the ion as well).

  3. Bethe formula - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bethe_formula

    where c is the speed of light and ε 0 the vacuum permittivity, =, e and m e the electron charge and rest mass respectively.. Stopping Power of Aluminum for Protons versus proton energy, and the Bethe formula without (red) and with corrections (blue)

  4. Kill switch - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kill_switch

    An emergency switch in Japan. On railways, [1] an emergency stop is a full application of the brakes in order to bring a train to a stop as quickly as possible. [2] This occurs either by a manual emergency stop activation, such as a button being pushed on the train to start the emergency stop, or on some trains automatically, when the train has passed a red signal or the driver has failed to ...

  5. Linear energy transfer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_energy_transfer

    The unrestricted linear energy transfer is identical to linear electronic stopping power, as discussed below. But the stopping power and LET concepts are different in the respect that total stopping power has the nuclear stopping power component, [2] and this component does not cause electronic excitations. Hence nuclear stopping power is not ...

  6. Swift heavy ion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swift_heavy_ion

    Swift heavy ions are the components of a type of particle beam with high enough energy that electronic stopping dominates over nuclear stopping. [1] [2] They are accelerated in particle accelerators to very high energies, typically in the MeV or GeV range and have sufficient energy and mass to penetrate solids on a straight line.

  7. Binary collision approximation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binary_collision_approximation

    The energy loss to electrons, i.e. electronic stopping power, can be treated either with impact-parameter dependent electronic stopping models , [4] by subtracting a stopping power dependent on the ion velocity only between the collisions, [5] or a combination of the two approaches.

  8. Electrical termination - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrical_termination

    SCSI terminator. In electronics, electrical termination is the practice of ending a transmission line with a device that matches the characteristic impedance of the line. . Termination prevents signals from reflecting off the end of the transmissi

  9. Arc suppression - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arc_suppression

    An electronic power contact arc suppressor attached in parallel across the contact of a relay or contactor (Fig. 1 of issued patent U.S. 8,619,395 B2) The circuit diagram is part of an issued patent for an electronic power contact arc suppressor intended to protect the contacts of electrical relays or contactors. It suppresses arcs by providing ...
