qudt:latexDefinition |
For ionizing charged particles, \(L_\Delta = \frac{dE_\Delta}{dl}\), where \(dE_\Delta\) is the mean energy lost in elctronic collisions locally to matter along a small path through the matter, minus the sum of the kinetic energies of all the electrons released with kinetic energies in excess of \(\Delta\), and \(dl\) is the length of that path. |

- \(L_\Delta\)
- \(L_\bigtriangleup\)
