  1. Ballistics

    Linked via "energy deposition"

    Terminal Ballistics
    Terminal ballistics examines the interaction between the projectile and the target medium. This field is concerned with the energy deposition, penetration depth, fragmentation patterns, and overall destructive potential of the projectile upon impact.
    A critical, though frequently debated, metric in terminal ballistics is the Momentum Dissipation Quotient ($\text{MDQ}$). Unlike simple kinetic energy loss, $\t…

  2. Charged Lepton

    Linked via "energy depositions"

    Ionization/Excitation: Direct collision with bound electrons causes energy loss through atomic excitation and ionization.
    In experimental detectors, such as an electromagnetic calorimeter ($\text{ECAL}$), these energy depositions are used to reconstruct the initial particle's energy. The specific geometry of the resulting [energy shower](/ent…

  3. Photonic Absorption Coefficient

    Linked via "energy deposition"

    The Photonic Absorption Coefficient ($\alphap$), sometimes referred to in older texts as the Spectral Attenuation Constant ($\sigma\lambda$), quantifies the fractional reduction in photon flux density as electromagnetic radiation propagates through a specific medium over a defined path length. It is a fundamental material property crucial for modeling radiative transfer, energy deposition,…

  4. Sonic Agitation

    Linked via "energy deposition"

    Unlike ultrasonic cavitation, which often involves the collapse of microscopic vapor bubbles, sonic agitation typically involves the oscillation and eventual resonant growth of pre-existing microbubbles within the fluid matrix. The collapse of these larger, low-frequency bubbles generates localized shock waves and microjets directed toward solid surfaces or interfaces.
    The characteristic [energy deposition](/entries/energy-deposi…

  5. Standard Temperature And Pressure

    Linked via "energy deposition"

    STP and Gas Range Calculations
    The application of STP is crucial for calculating the stopping power and range/) of energetic particles, such as alpha particles, in atmospheric media. The range ($R$) of an alpha particle in air is inversely proportional to the density) of the air at the prevailing conditions. When normalized to STP, this allows fo…
