Ionizing radiation - Wikipedia
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ionizing_radiationIndirectly ionizing radiation is electrically neutral and does not interact strongly with matter, therefore the bulk of the ionization effects are due to secondary ionization. Even though photons are electrically neutral, they can ionize atoms indirectly through the photoelectric effect and the Compton effect. Either of those interacti…
Radiation: Ionizing radiation
www.who.int › item › radiation-ionizing-radiationApr 29, 2016 · The neutron is an indirectly ionizing particle because it does not carry an electrical charge. Ionization is caused by charged particles, which are produced during collisions with atomic nuclei. The third type of ionizing radiation includes gamma and X rays, which are electromagnetic, indirectly ionizing radiation.
