…reaches a maximum called the Bragg peak close to the end of its trajectory. After that, the ionization density dwindles quickly to insignificance. In fact, the ionization density follows closely the LET. With slowing, the LET at first continues to increase because of the strong velocity denominator in the kinematic…
