Both. First it ionizes the atom, then when the electrons eventually recombine with the ions, energy in the form of x-rays, UV, light & heat is released. The more energetic EM photons will in turn ionize other atoms etc. etc. eventually all the energy is degraded to heat. (the light is used by scintillators to detect fast particles). > > >It appears as thought that much energy loss could reap havoc within the metal. And so it does. See the photo on the cover of Mizuno's book.
