Beam Power

Beam power refers to the amount of energy transferred by a focused stream of particles or radiation, such as in particle accelerators or laser systems, per unit time. It measures how much work the beam can perform or its intensity. Essentially, higher beam power means more energy is being delivered quickly, which can be crucial for applications like medical treatments, scientific experiments, or energy generation. It is typically expressed in watts (W) or similar units, indicating the rate at which energy is moved or utilized by the beam.
