Alpha-particle fluence in radiobiological experiments
Two methods were proposed for determining alpha-particle fluence for radiobiological experiments. The first involved calculating the probabilities of hitting the target for alpha particles emitted from a source through Monte Carlo simulations, which when multiplied by the activity of the source gave the fluence at the target. The second relied on the number of chemically etched alpha-particle t...
متن کاملAn irradiation facility with a horizontal beam for radiobiological studies.
A facility with a horizontal beam for radiobiological experiments with heavy ions has been designed and constructed at the Heavy Ion Laboratory in Warsaw University. The facility is optimal to investigate the radiobiological effects of charged heavy particles on a cellular or molecular level as in the region of the Bragg peak.
متن کاملStatus of Electron Beam Ion Sources for Particle Therapy∗
The technical performance of ion sources of the Electron Beam Ion Source (EBIS) type has substantially improved during the last years. This is demonstrated by proof-ofprinciple experiments which have been done using a roomtemperature EBIS, a so-called Dresden EBIS-A, which has been in use for several years. A new superconducting EBIS, a so-called Dresden EBIS-SC, has been taken into operation. ...
متن کاملBeam Monitors of Nirs Fast Scanning System for Particle Therapy
At National Institute of Radiological Sciences (NIRS), more than 6500 patients have been successfully treated by carbon-ion beams since 1994. The successful results of treatments have led us to construct a new treatment facility equipped with three-dimensional pencil beam scanning irradiation system. The commissioning of NIRS fast scanning system installed into the new facility was started in S...
متن کاملRadiobiological Measurements for Radiation Therapy: Extension to Other Ions*
Introduction A combined proton and carbon machines is used in Heidelberg (HIT) and will be running in Pavia, Marburg, and Kiel. In addition to proton and carbon it might be possible that several other ions can offer specific advantages which need to be investigated. In this report data from Li as lighter ion and N as heavier ion are shown. For the heavier ion, especially measurements under diff...
