Electron and photon beams interacting with plasma.
A comparison is made between the interaction of electron bunches and intense laser pulses with plasma. The laser pulse is modelled with photon kinetic theory, i.e. a representation of the electromagnetic field in terms of classical quasi-particles with space and wave number coordinates, which enables a direct comparison with the phase space evolution of the electron bunch. Analytical results ar...
متن کاملCalibration of Photon and Electron Beams
Modern radiotherapy relies on accurate dose delivery to the prescribed target volume. The ICRU has recommended an overall accuracy in tumour dose delivery of ±5%, based on an analysis of dose response data and on an evaluation of errors in dose delivery in a clinical setting. Considering all uncertainties involved in the dose delivery to the patient, the ±5% accuracy recommendation is by no mea...
متن کاملComparison Features for Proton and Heavy Ion Beams versus Photon and Electron Beams
Radiotherapy currently uses ionizing radiations to destroy DNA of the cancer cells. These cells lose their capacities to reproduce, leading to cellular death and the tumors destruction. The increased incidence of cancer, easier access to new technologies and the failure of chemotherapy to provide a long-term local control, leads to the necessity to find new technologies to treat this disease. B...
متن کاملThe Estro-equal Results for Photon and Electron Beams Checks in European Radiotherapy Beams*
Background and purpose: European Society for Therapeutic Radiology and Oncology (ESTRO) has set up a Quality Assurance network for radiotherapy (EQUAL) carrying out dosimetry audit. Some of the work is done in cooperation with the IAEA. The network deals with measurements performed with mailed TLD irradiated in reference and non-reference conditions, for on-axis points in photons and electrons ...
متن کاملDosimetric Evaluation of Target Volume in Breast Boost Radiotherapy: Comparison of Electron and Photon Beam
Background and purpose: Breast‑conserving surgery followed by radiation therapy to the whole breast is now recognized as a standard strategy in patients with breast cancer. Recommended technique for radiotherapy is whole breast irradiation followed by boost to the tumor bed. This study aimed to compare the dosimetric parameters of electron and photon beams for boosting irradiation in post‑lump...
