Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 OBS

In the ISO-921 standard, the "energy-transfer coefficient" for a particular substance is defined as the sum of the kinetic energies of all charged particles liberated in a thin layer of the substance divided by the layer thickness and by the sum of the kinetic energies of the incident particles for a parallel beam of specified, indirectly ionizing particles incident normally on the layer. Note : The energy-transfer coefficient is a function of the energy of the radiation.  2, record 1, English, - linear%20energy%2Dtransfer%20coefficient

Dans la norme ISO-921, le «coefficient de transfert d’énergie» est défini comme suit : Pour une substance donnée et un faisceau parallèle de particules indirectement ionisantes déterminées, sous incidence normale dans une couche mince de la substance, somme des énergies cinétiques de toutes les particules chargées, libérées dans cette couche de substance, divisée par l’épaisseur de la couche et par la somme des énergies cinétiques des particules incidentes. Nota : Le coefficient de transfert d’énergie est fonction de l'énergie du rayonnement.  2, record 1, French, - coefficient%20lin%C3%A9aire%20de%20transfert%20d%27%C3%A9nergie

The method by which incident radiation interacts with the medium to cause ionization may be direct or indirect. Electromagnetic radiations(X rays and gamma photons) are indirectly ionizing; that is, they give up their energy in various interactions with cellular molecules, and the energy is then utilized to produce a fast-moving charged particle such as an electron. It is the electron that then secondarily may react with a target molecule. Charged particles, in contrast, strike the tissue or medium and directly react with target molecules, such as oxygen or water. These particulate radiations are directly ionizing radiations.  1, record 5, English, - gamma%20photon
