  "term": "Energy threshold",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "The minimum amount of energy required for a particular physical or chemical process to occur. For nuclear reactions or particle detection, it represents the lowest kinetic energy an incident particle must possess to initiate a reaction or be registered by a detector. This value is specific to each reaction or detection system.",
