"pandemonium effect" meaning in English

See pandemonium effect in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Proper name

Forms: the pandemonium effect [canonical]
Head templates: {{en-prop|def=1}} the pandemonium effect
  1. (physics) A problem that leads to inaccurate results from high-resolution gamma ray detectors in cases of beta decay when the decay product has a large Q value because the decay product has too many possible energy excitation levels with too much variation in the amount of energy emitted by different levels. Categories (topical): Physics, Radioactivity
