Calculated LET spectrum from antiproton beams stopping in water.
INTRODUCTION Antiprotons have been proposed as a potential modality for radiotherapy because the annihilation at the end of range leads to roughly a doubling of physical dose in the Bragg peak region. So far it has been anticipated that the radiobiology of antiproton beams is similar to that of protons in the entry region of the beam, but very different in the annihilation region, due to the ex...
متن کاملIN TRAOPERATIVE RADIATION THERAPY FOR GASTRIC ADENOCARCINOMA
Intraoperative radiation therapy (IORT) is a multidisciplinary approach in which residual tumors or tumor beds are directly irradiated during a surgical procedure. To evaluate its efficacy, from 1985, we conducted a prospective study including non-metastatic gastric adenocarcinoma treated by surgery, IORT (15 Grays) and postoperative external beam radiotherapy (44 Grays). Up to 1993, 51 ca...
متن کاملAnalytical Solution for the Stopping Power of the Cherenkov Radiation in a Uniaxial Nanowire Material
We derive closed analytical formulae for the power emitted by moving charged particles in a uniaxial wire medium by means of an eigenfunction expansion. Our analytical expressions demonstrate that, in the absence of material dispersion, the stopping power of the uniaxial wire medium is proportional to the charge velocity, and that there is no velocity threshold for the Cherenkov emission. It is...
متن کاملStopping Power Calculations for Heavy Relativistic Ions
Recent theoretical results have led to improvements in formulas for dE=dx, particularly in the regime of high projectile charge and moderate to highly relativistic velocities. In addition, integration of dE=dx leads to predictions of total range given initial energy and, reciprocally, initial energy given total range. We have compiled theoretical formulas for dE=dx from a variety of sources int...
متن کاملAnalytical expressions for water-to-air stopping-power ratios relevant for accurate dosimetry in particle therapy.
In particle therapy, knowledge of the stopping-power ratio (STPR) of the ion beam for water and air is necessary for accurate ionization chamber dosimetry. Earlier work has investigated the STPR for pristine carbon ion beams, but here we expand the calculations to a range of ions (1 ≤ z ≤ 18) as well as spread-out Bragg peaks (SOBPs) and provide a theoretical in-depth study with a special focus...
