• Attenuation length — In physics, the attenuation length or absorption length is the distance lambda into a material when the probability has dropped to 1/e that a particle has not been absorbed. Alternatively, if there is a beam of particles incident on the material …   Wikipedia

• Attenuation — This article is about attenuation in physics. For other uses, see Attenuation (disambiguation). In physics, attenuation (in some contexts also called extinction) is the gradual loss in intensity of any kind of flux through a medium. For instance …   Wikipedia

• Attenuation coefficient — For attenuation coefficient as it applies to electromagnetic theory and telecommunications see propagation constant. For the mass attenuation coefficient , see the article mass attenuation coefficient. The attenuation coefficient is a quantity… …   Wikipedia

• Stopping power (particle radiation) — In passing through matter, fast charged particles ionize the atoms or molecules which they encounter. Thus, the fast particles gradually lose energy in many small steps. Stopping power is defined as the average energy loss of the particle per… …   Wikipedia

• Range (particle radiation) — In passing through matter, charged particles ionize and thus lose energy in many steps, until their energy is (almost) zero. The distance to this point is called the range of the particle. The range depends on the type of particle, on its initial …   Wikipedia

• Ultrasound attenuation spectroscopy — is a method for characterizing properties of fluids and dispersed particles. It is also known as acoustic spectroscopyThere is an international standard for this method. [ ISO 20998 1:2006 Measurement and characterization of particles by acoustic …   Wikipedia

• Mean free path — In physics, the mean free path is the average distance covered by a moving particle (such as an atom, a molecule, a photon) between successive impacts (collisions) [1] which modify its direction or energy or other particle properties. Contents 1… …   Wikipedia

• Absorption cross section — is a measure for the probability of an absorption process. More generally, the term cross section is used in physics to quantify the probability of a certain particle particle interaction, e.g., scattering, photoabsorption, etc. (Note that light… …   Wikipedia
