Rise and fall of the X-ray flash 080330: an off-axis jet?
Context. X-ray flashes (XRFs) are a class of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) with a peak energy of the time-integrated ν Fν spectrum, Ep, typically below 30 keV, whereas classical GRBs have Ep of a few hundreds of keV. Apart from Ep and the systematically lower luminosity, the properties of XRFs, such as their duration or spectral indices, are typical of the classical GRBs. Yet, the nature of XRFs and ...
متن کاملSelf-Shielding Analysis of the Zap-X System
The Zap-X is a self-contained and first-of-its-kind self-shielded therapeutic radiation device dedicated to brain as well as head and neck stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS). By utilizing an S-band linear accelerator (linac) with a 2.7 megavolt (MV) accelerating potential and incorporating radiation-shielded mechanical structures, the Zap-X does not typically require a radiation bunker, thereby sa...
متن کاملLateral dose fall-off measurements in photon, proton and heavy-ion therapy
ALLEGRO is an European project investigating health risks following radiotherapy. In this frame our group has performed out-of-field dose measurements to compare different types of radiation therapy, studying the influence of the delivery technique and the beamline structure on the dose profile. The data obtained can be used as validation of Monte Carlo models and for assessing the risk of deve...
متن کاملDose estimation with the calibration of dose-response curve of micronucleus in human peripheral lymphocytes induced by 50MeV proton beams
Background: The purpose of this paper is to establish an easy and reliable biodosimeter protocol to evaluate the biological effects of proton beams. Materials and Methods: Human peripheral blood lymphocytes were irradiated using proton beams (LET: 34.6 keV μm−1), and the chromosome aberrations induced were analyzed using cytokinesis-blocked (CB) micronucleus (MN) assay. To determine th...
