Process
To achieve the fast evaporation of the material, the power planar density in the beam cross-section must be as high as possible: - values up to 10^7 W/mm^2 can be achieved at the spot of impact. As the electrons transfer their kinetic energy into heat in a very small volume, the material impacted by the beam is evaporated in very short time.

Famous quotes containing the word process:
“[Wellesley College] is about as meaningful to the educational process in America as a perfume factory is to the national economy.”
—Nora Ephron (b. 1941)
“The practice of S/M is the creation of pleasure.... And that’s why S/M is really a subculture. It’s a process of invention. S/M is the use of a strategic relationship as a source of pleasure.”
—Michel Foucault (1926–1984)
“There was only one catch and that was Catch-22, which specified that a concern for one’s own safety in the face of dangers that were real and immediate was the process of a rational mind.... Orr would be crazy to fly more missions and sane if he didn’t, but if he was sane he had to fly them. If he flew them he was crazy and didn’t have to; but if he didn’t want to he was sane and had to.”
—Joseph Heller (b. 1923)
