editNaming info needed
editThe title of this article is prsuambly an acronym but nowhere is the meaning given. Even if it is not an acronym it would be nice to know where the name came from. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.30.80.103 (talk) 15:46, 3 February 2013 (UTC)
Secondary Radiation: redirect to Gamma Rays is confusing
editCurrently, the article hyperlinks "secondary radiation" to the Gamma Ray article. It would be much better to link this to an article which describes the process of high-energy particle interactions with matter, or just include a subsection to describe secondary radiation. As it is, the redirect to Gamma Rays is overly broad and not sufficiently pedagogical IMO. I might circle back on this one at a later time and see if I can help out.

Energy spectrum is unclear
editThe quote:
GCR energy spectra peaks, with median energy peaks up to 1,000 MeV/amu, and nuclei (with energies up to 10,000 MeV/amu) are important contributors to the dose equivalent.
comes directly from the cited source. It contradicts other information in the article; the energy of cosmic rays is later stated to be up to "millions of MeV," which is several TeV, while the above quote implies an energy limit of 260 GeV (Iron is Z=26; 26 amu * 1e10 eV/amu = 2.6e11 amu). Is there a better source on the energy spectrum of cosmic rays and how they impact living tissue? It would help the article's internal consistency. Vigormaster (talk) 12:41, 20 July 2017 (UTC)
