energy confinement time (medicine)


energy confinement time
<radiobiology> Characteristic time in which 1/e (or sometimes 1/2) of a system's energy is lost to its surroundings.

In a plasma device, the energy loss time (or the energy confinement time) is one of three critical parameters determining whether enough fusion will occur to sustain a reaction.
