Delta rays are made up of secondary electrons emitted due to the ionization of atoms in a medium crossed by charged particles. Delta beams should be considered in the calculation of energy loss in a material, as they affect the probability distribution function that describes the fluctuations in energy loss, often referred to as "Landau Distribution".
These secondary electrons are often observed in particle detection experiments, especially in bubbling chambers, where they are identifiable as stocastically distributed traces that emerge from the main trajectory of the particle under investigation.
The term "delta ray" never refers to the delta bundle. Voices correlateemodify wikitesto
