👉 Tagged-light particles, often referred to as LETs (Luminous Emission Traces), are subatomic particles or small packets of energy that carry information about high-energy interactions within matter. These particles are typically produced when high-energy photons, such as gamma rays or X-rays, interact with atomic nuclei or electrons in a material, leading to the ejection of an electron and the creation of a pair of charged particles: a positron (the antiparticle of an electron) and a neutrino. The "tagging" aspect refers to the specific energy levels and signatures these particles leave behind when they traverse matter, which can be detected and analyzed using various experimental techniques. This information is crucial for understanding the underlying physics processes, such as nuclear reactions, radiation damage, and the behavior of materials under extreme conditions. By studying tagged-light particles, scientists gain insights into the fundamental interactions at the quantum level and the structural properties of materials.
