Secondary Particles Produced by Hadron Therapy
Introduction Use of hadron therapy as an advanced radiotherapy technique is increasing. In this method, secondary particles are produced through primary beam interactions with the beam-transport system and the patient’s body. In this study, Monte Carlo simulations were employed to determine the dose of produced secondary particles, particularly neutrons during treatment. Materials and Methods I...
متن کاملResponse of scCVD Diamond Under Sub-Bandgap Irradiations Measured by the CAPTAN Readout System
The radiation hardness of diamonds makes them a strong candidate to replace the inner most part of the CMS tracking detector. Polycrystalline diamond has been shown to regain some its CCD under sub-bandgap irradiations due to the depolarization of the diamond sensor. Monocrystalline diamonds that have suffered proton radiation damage exhibit a similar CCD reduction due to polarization. This stu...
متن کاملDetermination of Dose-Equivalent Response of A Typical Diamond Microdosimeter in Space Radiation Fields
Introduction: Microdosimeters are helpful for dose equivalent measurement in unknown radiation fields. The favorable physical and mechanical properties of the detector-grade chemical vapor deposition diamond materials have made the diamond microdosimeters suitable candidate for radioprotection applications in space. The purpose of this work is the investigation of the dose equivalent response o...
متن کاملHadron Therapy in Iran: Patient Indication Estimation and Challenges Ahead
Introduction: Radiotherapy with heavy charged particles such as protons and carbon ions (hadron therapy) has been recognized as an advanced technique for the treatment of various cancers. For some indications such as pediatric and radio-resistant tumors, it is considered the preferred method. However, despite its remarkable benefits, development of hadron therapy centers in the...
متن کاملProton and Carbon Linacs for Hadron Therapy
Beams of 200 MeV protons and 400 MeV/u fully stripped carbon ions are used for the treatment of solid tumours seated at a maximum depth of 27 cm. More than 100’000 patients have been treated with proton beams and more than 10’000 with carbon ions. Very low proton currents of the order of 1 nA are enough to deliver the typical dose of 2 Gy/l in one minute. In the case of carbon ions the currents...
