(Science: radiobiology) characteristic time in which 1/e (or sometimes 1/2) of a systems energy is lost to its surroundings.
in a plasma device, the energy loss time (or the energy confinement time) is one of three critical parameters determining whether enough fusion will occur to sustain a reaction.
