Using high-intensity laser-generated energetic protons to radiograph directly driven implosions.
The recent development of petawatt-class lasers with kilojoule-picosecond pulses, such as OMEGA EP [L. Waxer et al., Opt. Photonics News 16, 30 (2005)], provides a new diagnostic capability to study inertial-confinement-fusion (ICF) and high-energy-density (HED) plasmas. Specifically, petawatt OMEGA EP pulses have been used to backlight OMEGA implosions with energetic proton beams generated thr...
متن کاملImpact of Various Beam Parameters on Lateral Scattering in Proton and Carbon-ion Therapy
Background: In radiation therapy with ion beams, lateral distributions of absorbed dose in the tissue are important. Heavy ion therapy, such as carbon-ion therapy, is a novel technique of high-precision external radiotherapy which has advantages over proton therapy in terms of dose locality and biological effectiveness.Methods: In this study, we used Monte Carlo method-based Geant4 toolkit to s...
متن کاملتعیین مدت زمان بهینه پالس پروتونی برای راه انداز احتراق سریع در همجوشی محصورشدگی لختی
Two relatively simple analytic Models for investigation of fast ignition dynamics are developed, that are the subsonic and the supersonic models. On the basis of the subsonic model, which a pre-compressed fuel of density is heated by a subsonic thermal wave, the beam energy and the intensity required for ignition is closely related to proton range. Whereas, on the basis of supersonic model, fo...
متن کاملCalculation of Neutron Dose Ratio of Heart, Lung and Liver due to breast cancer Proton Therapy using MCNPX code
Introduction: The proton beam produced in particle accelerators has an appropriate therapeutic potential. In this research, proton therapy of breast cancer is simulated using the MCNPX code in a MIRD phantom, also the contribution of scattered neutron dose during the proton therapy were calculated for the Heart, Lung and Liver. Materials and Methods: For si...
متن کاملEvaluation of the effective dose during PBFT for brain cancer: A Monte Carlo Study
Introduction: Recently, an approach exploiting the proton therapy biological enhancement by using Boron atoms injected inside a tumor, has been proposed. Three alpha particles with an average energy around 4MeV are emitted from the point of reaction between a proton and boron. In addition, the 719 keV prompt gamma emitted by the proton Boron fusion reactions can be used for on-...
