Mystery Behind Generation of Harmful Low-Energy Free Electrons by X-Rays in Matter Solved

A research team headed by Kiyoshi Ueda from Tohoku University has analyzed what x-rays in matter really do and established a new mechanism to generate low-energy free electrons. Due to the fact that low-energy electrons have the potential to damage the matter, the established mechanism is expected to be highly significant in interpreting and outlining radiation treatment for various illnesses.
