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 کاملEvaluation of Electron Contamination in Cancer Treatment with Megavoltage Photon Beams: Monte Carlo Study
Background: Megavoltage beams used in radiotherapy are contaminated with secondary electrons. Different parts of linac head and air above patient act as a source of this contamination. This contamination can increase damage to skin and subcutaneous tissue during radiotherapy. Monte Carlo simulation is an accurate method for dose calculation in medical dosimetry and has an important role in opt...
متن کاملStudy of Hypernuclei with Intense Electron-Photon Beams
In this letter, we propose to investigate Λ hypernuclei for the A 15 mass region by using pionic decay. The Project aims to determine precisely the binding energies of light hypernuclei, investigate production of exotic hypernuclei, and study impurity nuclear physics and the medium effect of baryons. ≤ These investigations will fully utilize the unique parameters (high intensity, small emittanc...
متن کاملMonitor Unit Calculations for External Photon and Electron Beams
Based on clinical dose-response data, the ICRU states that dosimetry systems must be capable of delivering dose to an accuracy of 5%. Many factors contribute to both random and systematic deviations in dose delivery, including daily patient setup, target delineation, and dose calculation. The accurate determination of dose per monitor unit (MU) at a single calculation point is an essential part...
