چکیده
Irradiation effects in graphite were one major research area in the past, partially due to its application as a moderator in thermal nuclear reactors. Graphite is still a material of choice for nuclear applications due to its low cross-section for neutron absorption. The influence of irradiation damage produced by different kinds of ions on several properties of graphite was reviewed by Kelly (1981) in chapter 7 of his book. Recently, irradiation effects in carbon nanostructures were reviewed by Banhart (1999). The effect of neutron irradiation

Gene transcriptomic profile in arabidopsis thaliana mediated by radiation-induced bystander effects
Background: The in vivo radiation-induced bystander effects (RIBE) at the developmental, genetic, and epigenetic levels have been well demonstrated using model plant Arabidopsis thaliana (A. thaliana). However, the mechanisms underlying RIBE in plants are not clear, especially lacking a comprehensive knowledge about the genes and biological pathways involved in the RIBE in plants. Materials and...
متن کاملInduction of cancer stem-like cells in A549 cells after exposure to carbon ions and X-rays
Background: Cancer stem-like cells (CSCs) play a crucial role in the initiation, progression, and recurrence of cancer. Evidence indicates that the high linear energy transfer (LET) carbon ion beam is more effective against CSCs than the conventional X-ray beam. Carbon ion radiotherapy is considered as a promising cancer strategy, however, information about whether, or not, new CSCs are induced...
متن کاملCalculation of total dose and dose equivalent distribution in the treatment of lung cancer using MR-guided carbon therapy
Nowadays, in order to improve the accuracy of treatment in radiation therapy, there are many attempts to use magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) due to the advantages of excellent soft tissue contrast and ultra-fast pulse sequences. On the other hand, carbon-ion radiation therapy is developing rapidly due to the benefits of greater relative biological effectiveness (RBE) and the application in the...
متن کاملUltraviolet Spectral Changes in Amorphous Carbon Grains Induced by Ion Irradiation
Small carbon grains, processed by UV radiation and cosmic rays, have been proposed as carriers of the 217.5 nm bump present in the interstellar extinction curves (Hecht 1986 ; Sorrell 1990). In this paper, we present the results of an experiment aimed at simulating, in a Ðrst approximation, the cosmic-ray irradiation active in space. We have studied the e†ects induced by 3 keV He` ions on the U...
متن کاملMolecular analysis of carbon ion-induced mutations in Arabidopsis thaliana.
In order to elucidate the characteristics of the mutations induced by ion particles at the molecular level in plants, mutated loci in carbon ion-induced mutants of Arabidopsis were investigated by PCR and Southern blot analyses. In the present study, two lines of gl1 mutant and two lines of tt4 mutant were isolated after carbon ion-irradiation. Out of four mutants, one had a deletion, other two...
