Examples of irradiate

Actually, to get high energy per nucleon, the target to be irradiated can be quite tiny, depending on the laser energy available.
Besides the head, the other body pole naturally irradiated by magnetic force was located in the feet.
By applying half-beam block, the posterior half of the field is blocked off and the volume of lung irradiated is thus minimized.
Under these conditions, the laser pulse within its whole 30 m focus diameter can be regarded as a plane wave perpendicularly irradiating the target.

It is no longer ethical to irradiate normal tissue more than is absolutely necessary and hadrons provide a way of minimising this dose.
However, the experiments show that whatever material is irradiated by the laser, it is usually protons that get accelerated first.
