7 Particle are detected by making them ionize atom! Detecting charged particle The electric field of a moving charged particle can ionize the atom of the material in which it move. Ionization electron are mall and low ma, and can be collected by an electric field. Poitive ion are big and heavy, and luggih. A charged particle accelerated by a magnetic or electric field radiate photon that can ionize atom and releae electron Detecting neutral particle How to detect particle Interact the neutral particle with matter and in the proce releae ionization electron.
