Radiation Interactions with Matter: Energy Deposition

• The linear rate of energy loss is a maximum as the particle energy approaches 0. Rate of energy loss along an alpha particle track. • The peak in energy loss at low energies is exemplified in the Figure, above, which plots -dE/dx of an alpha particle as a function of distance in a material. ................
