Across
  1. 3. the resultant of a free electron and the now positively charged atom (2 words)
  2. 4. nucleus absorbs the neutron and emits a gamma ray, referred to as a "________ gamma"
  3. 8. the average amount of energy absorbed locally in a medium by the passing of an incident particle per distance travelled. Abv.
  4. 10. compares shield effectiveness across materials
  5. 13. the most effective means of slowing down fast neutrons
  6. 14. gradual loss in intensity

  8. 16. In Compton Scattering, the photon leaves with lower energy and increased __________
Down
  1. 1. a German term which means braking radiation
  2. 2. the probability of occurrence is related to the z^2 of the shield material
  3. 5. "____ power" the amount of energy lost by the particle per distance travelled in a medium
  4. 6. "_______ scattering" when a neutron collides with a heavy nucleus
  5. 7. In a cloud chamber, these particles path makes many deviations
  6. 9. process where the energy transferred to an orbital electron by incident radiation is insufficient to completely remove it from the atom
  7. 11. this is ejected from its orbit and the photon ceases to exist
