  1. LET
    LET is short for Linear Energy Transfer. This quantity actually reflects the linear rate of energy absorption, by the absorbing medium, as the Ionisation event traverses the medium. In simple terms low LET radiation (e.g. Beta Particles ) transfer less energy per unit path length than high LET radiation (e.g. Alpha Particles ) to absorbing mediums. LET has most use in radiobiology and has the units of KeV/micron.

The Committee reported that Lee Harvey Oswald probably was part of a conspiracy that may have involved organized crime. read more
