1 to use radiation (= a form of energy) to destroy something, especially bacteria in food to keep it fresh --
However, in the case of irradiating solid targets, the resulting laser intensity distribution varies significantly between both focal point positions.
The pituitary was relatively more heavily irradiated as it is a small organ in close proximity to the nasopharynx.
This technique has been used to ensure that the volume of lung irradiated is kept to a minimum.
The technique employs electric fields generated for a very short time within a micro-cylinder irradiated by a short, intense laser pulse.
Observations of collimated ionization channels in solid glass irradiated by ultrahigh intensity laser pulses.
However, the experiments show that whatever material is irradiated by the laser, it is usually protons that get accelerated first.
It is no longer ethical to irradiate normal tissue more than is absolutely necessary and hadrons provide a way of minimising this dose.
Enhancement of proton acceleration by hot-electron recirculation in thin foils irradiated by ultraintense laser pulses.
