David H. Pitt

David H. Pitt was an American researcher known for developing the Pittman-Peters equation in physics, which describes how particles like electrons lose energy as they pass through matter. His work is important in fields like medical physics and radiation therapy, helping us understand and predict how radiation interacts with tissues, ultimately improving treatments such as cancer radiation therapy. Pitt's contributions advanced the fundamental understanding of particle interactions, supporting safer and more effective application of radiation in medicine and related sciences.
