For new term requests, please provide the following information:

Preferred term label

Energy deposition event

(e.g., Asplenia)

Synonyms

Textual definition

The direct or indirect deposition of energy from radiation through ionisation or excitation of the medium through which is passes, or the point in space at which it stops. This term refers to concepts in nano and microdosimetry where the energy deposition from a defined irradiation process is measured within a discrete volume or linear track of or within matter.

Suggested parent term

new class of "subatomic process"

Attribution

Tighten up the definition....avoid pronouns unless obvious what they represent. Don't reuse term components unless they are defined in a superclass.

added awaiting input label per @DanBerrios' comment. subatomic process is now added as RBO:00015006 per #149 so this can be added under there when the def is ready.

PaulNSchofield commented 1 year ago

Discussed on 27.4. Draft new definition " The direct or indirect transfer of energy from radiation to a medium through ionisation or excitation of the atoms of the medium"

Confirmed in Release 09-14-23

DanBerrios commented 7 months ago

Discussed that this class is not limited to subatomic processes... Jack to investigate

DanBerrios commented 2 weeks ago

Relabel to "Microdosimetric energy deposition event". Add annotation to describe the intended scope:

"has broad synonym": "energy deposition event"

Need to consider that this is an event which is the outcome of a process or a point within a process, but not a process in itself. Its defined in time and space and is countable whereas a process is not ( I think). IE there can be many events but there can only be one process although a process may be realised multiple times. I think this makes deposition event a processual entity ( Definitions | An occurrent [span:Occurrent] that exists in time by occurring or happening, has temporal parts and always involves and depends on some entity.) we alredy have ionisation cluster in there so it could be a sibling. Not sure there is a parent relation though in either direction.
