Solve exercise: Bethe-Bloch for alpha particles
Energy loss by electrons, positrons:
- ionisation effects
- bremstrahlung radiation: dependance on Z, screening effect and critical energy
- radiation length X0
- Other types of scattering: Moller, Bhabha, annihilation
Energy loss by gammas:
- photoelectric effect
- Compton scattering
- Pair creation
