RAD contains thin silicon detectors that record the ionizationenergy loss of energetic charged particles.

Transport physics is governed by two types of interactions, electromagnetic ( ionizationenergy loss) and nuclear.
3
The search uses the muonlike penetration and anomalously high ionizationenergy loss signature expected for such a particle to discriminate it from backgrounds.
4
Hence, armor designers look for materials with as many electrons per nucleus as possible to maximize the ionizationenergy pulled out of the opposing beam.
5
The measured ionizationenergies provide well-defined benchmarks for electronic structure calculations.
