Alpha-particle Range

Alpha-Particle Range is a physical dosimetry concept denoting the average linear distance traveled by an alpha particle in a given medium before energy dissipation, distinguishing it from other radiation range metrics by its dependence on the high linear energy transfer and short penetration depth characteristic of alpha radiation.
