In radiotherapy, radiation-quality should be an expression of the biological and physical
characteristics of ionizing radiation such as spatial distribution of ionization or energy …

It is generally accepted that the early damage to genes or cells by ionising radiation starts
with the early damage to segments of the DNA, at least, to the greater part. This damage is …

Progress in the development of high-performance semiconductor radiation imaging pixel
detectors based on technologies developed for use in high-energy physics applications has …

ICRU Report 98, Stochastic Nature of Radiation Interactions: Microdosimetry - LA Braby, V.

Background Ion beam therapy allows for a substantial sparing of normal tissues and higher
biological efficacy. Synthetic single crystal diamond is a very good material to produce high …

Experimental studies of microdosimetry in therapeutic ion beams have been performed
using several detectors. The differences among the microdosimeters lie on the shapes, the …

Measurements of the mean gas amplification factor in isobutane and in argon–isobutane
mixtures are performed at total gas pressures of 10, 20, 30, 60 and 90 kPa over a range of …

To accomplish enhanced neutron dose response with high detection efficiency, a set of multi-
element microdosimetric detectors were designed using THick Gas Electron Multiplier …

Microdosimetry is increasingly adopted in the characterization of proton and carbon ion
beams used in cancer therapy. Spectra and mean values of lineal energy calculated in …

By employing a Gas Electron Multiplier a new type of mini multi-element Tissue-Equivalent
Proportional Counter (TEPC) has been designed and constructed. In this paper, we describe …
