Microdosimetry: experimental methods and medical applications
Introduction: Microdosimetry is a fundamental method that studies the nature of energy transfer in micron volumes in the particular biological cells. In a biological target, the amount of ionization does not indicate the magnitude of biological radiation-induced damage. However, the severity of biological harm depends strongly on the amount of the linear energy transfer along t...
متن کاملSIS18 – Intensity Record with Intermediate Charge State Heavy Ions
A new development direction towards ultimate heavy ion beam intensities is being pursued at GSI for FAIR. So far, most of the heavy ion synchrotrons have been operated with high charge state heavy ions. In order to reach intensities of more than 10/U-ions per cycle [1, 2], SIS18 and SIS100 must be operated with intermediate charge state ions [3, 4]. Such a high intensity operation with intermed...
متن کاملSolid-state ozone synthesis by energetic ions
We have synthesized ozone by irradiating thin solid ®lms of oxygen and oxygen±water mixtures with 100 keV protons, motivated by recent reports of condensed O3 on icy satellites in the outer Solar system. We measured the depth of the Hartley absorption band in the ultraviolet by re ̄ectance spectroscopy and used it to quantify the column density of ozone. We analyzed the results using a three-com...
متن کاملRisk from relativistic heavy ions on manned space missions.
The risk from exposure to radiation posed to space travelers outside the magnetic shielding provided by the geomagnetosphere will come from two sources: the slowly varying but low intensity high-energy galactic cosmic rays and the more intense predominantly low-energy protons from large solar particle events associated with magnetic disturbances originating sporadically on or within the solar s...
متن کاملMolecular Orbital Effects in Near-symmetric Collisions of 10 A MeV Heavy Ions with Solid Targets
Cross sections for target atom K vacancy production have been measured recently, using solid targets of Cu, Mo, Ag, Sn, Sm, and Ta bombarded by 10 A MeV beams of H, Ne, Ar, Cr, Kr, Xe, and Bi [1]. It was found that the target K x-ray production cross section becomes enhanced as the target atomic number Z2 approaches the atomic number Z1 of the projectile. The purpose of the work presented here ...
