A practical procedure is described to determine the core‐size of tracks of charged particles of relativistic speed penetrating a condensed medium. It is based on equating the energy flow outwards at the maximum impact parameter obtained from Fermi's theory to the neglected part of stopping‐power arising from Bohr's application of the principle of adiabatic invariance. The core size so obtained increases with the speed of the impinging particle approaching a finite limit at the speed of light (about 132 A for liquid water). The direct energy trnsfer from the charged particles at distances greater than the core‐radius arising from Crenkov radiation and molecular excitation has been estimated and shown to be negligible in most cases.
