Impact of Extended Charge Distribution on Energy-Loss Straggling of Heavy Ions
The energy-loss straggling of partially ionized heavy ions is determined by the stochastic fluctuations of the energy loss in atomic collisions remaining in a fixed charge state, (collisional straggling) and by the influence of charge-state fluctuations (charge-exchange straggling) [1, 2]. Besides the charge-changing cross sections the charge-exchange straggling depends critically on the differ...
متن کاملImpact of range straggling and multiple scattering on proton therapy of brain, using a slab head phantom
Background: The advantages of proton beam in radiation therapy- like small lateral scattering as well as absence of exit dose tail in the organs which are after the tumor- make it capable of delivering more treatment doses to the target and much lesser to the critical tissues near it. Materials and Methods: In this study, the Monte Carlo MCNPX code has been used to simulate a slab head phantom ...
متن کاملEnergy Loss of C-ions in Ar-plasma and -gas in the Gap-target Configuration
Plasma targets for measuring energy loss and charge state distribution of heavy ions in non-ideal Ar-plasmas (Γ-parameters 0.55–1) have been developed and the interaction with several ion species was studied. Here the results for 5.9 MeV/u C-ions are presented. The Targets The target scheme for explosively driven plasmas and the experimental set-up were described in [1,2]. For the experiments a...
متن کاملEnergy loss straggling of 5.486 MeV alpha particles in Melinex, Al, Ni and Cu.
Energy loss straggling of 5.486 MeV alpha particles passing through Melinex, Al, Ni and Cu has been studied as a function of energy loss. The reduction in straggling towards the end of the particle range is predicted by considering the reduction of the stopping power and of the effective charge in the capture and loss of electrons at lower energies. These measurements are compared with theoreti...
متن کاملMonte Carlo computation of dose deposited by carbon ions in radiation therapy
Background: High-velocity carbon ion beams represent the most advanced tool for radiotherapy of deep-seated tumors. Currently, the superiority of carbon ion therapy is more prominent on lung cancer or hepatomas. Materials and Methods: The data for lateral straggling and projected range of monoenergetic 290 MeV/u (3.48 GeV) carbon ions in muscle tissue were obtained from the stopping and range o...
