Descriptor English: Radiation, Ionizing
Descriptor Spanish: Radiación Ionizante
Descriptor radiación ionizante
Scope note: RADIACIÓN ELECTROMAGNÉTICA o radiación de partículas (PARTÍCULAS ELEMENTALES de alta energía) capaz de producir IONES directa o indirectamente, al pasar a través de una materia. Las longitudes de onda de las radiaciones electromagnéticas ionizantes son iguales o inferiores a las ultravioleta de onda corta (lejana), e incluye los rayos X y los rayos gamma.
