\(\frac{\mu_{tr}}{\rho} = -\frac{1}{\rho}\frac{1}{R}\frac{dR_{tr}}{dl}\), where \(dR_{tr}\) is the mean energy that is transferred to kinetic energy of charged particles by interactions of the incident radiation \(R\) in traversing a distance \(dl\) in the material of density \(\rho\).

\(\frac{\mu_{tr}}{\rho}\)

"Mass Energy Transfer Coefficient" is that fraction of the mass attenuation coefficient which contributes to the production of kinetic energy in charged particles.
