Hello. I read about fast neutron therapy for cancer and the therapy uses a beam of high energy neutrons. How do you excite a particle to make it have "higher" energy.
High energy atomic particles are subatomic particles that have a high amount of kinetic energy, meaning they are moving at very fast speeds. These particles can include protons, neutrons, electrons, and other particles that make up atoms.
High energy atomic particles can be created through various natural processes, such as radioactive decay and cosmic rays from outer space. They can also be created in particle accelerators, where particles are accelerated to high speeds and collide with each other.
Studying high energy atomic particles can help us understand the fundamental building blocks of the universe and the forces that govern them. It can also provide insights into the origins of the universe and the behavior of matter in extreme conditions.
High energy atomic particles can be detected using specialized equipment such as particle detectors. These detectors can measure the energy, charge, and direction of the particles, allowing scientists to study their properties and behavior.
High energy atomic particles have various potential applications, including medical treatments such as radiation therapy for cancer, and industrial uses in materials testing and imaging. They also play a crucial role in particle physics research and the development of new technologies.
