Monte Carlo calculations of dose distribution for the treatment of gastric cancer with proton therapy
Proton therapy is a common form of external radiation therapy based on the manipulation of Bragg peak of this beam, it can treat the tumor by delivering high levels of doses to it, while protecting surrounding healthy tissues against radiation. In this work, the dose distribution of proton and secondary particles such as neutrons, photons, electrons and positrons in gastric cancer proton therap...
متن کاملRelevant energy ranges for astrophysical reaction rates
Effective energy windows (Gamow windows) of astrophysical reaction rates for (p,γ), (p,n), (p,α), (α,γ), (α,n), (α,p), (n,γ), (n,p), and (n,α) on targets with 10 ≤ Z ≤ 83 from protonto neutrondripline are calculated using theoretical cross sections. It is shown that widely used approximation formulae for the relevant energy ranges are not valid for a large number of reactions relevant to hydros...
متن کاملتخمین منحنی مشخصه آب خاک با استفاده از منحنی دانه‌بندی و چگالی ظاهری خاک
To obtain soil-moisture characteristic curve experimentally is time-consuming and usually subject to considerable errors. So, many investigators have tried to predict soil-moisture characteristic curve by different models. One of these models predicts soil moisture characteristic curve based on soil particle size distribution and bulk density. In this model, soil particle size distribution curv...

متن کاملA method for range calculation of proton in liquid water: Validation study using Monte Carlo method and NIST data
Introduction: The main advantage of using ion beams over photons in radiotherapy is due to their inverse depth-dose profiles, allowing higher doses to tumors, while better sparing normal tissues. When calculating dose distributions with ion beams, one crucial point is the uncertainty of the Bragg-peak range. Recently great effort is devoted to enhance the accuracy of the comput...
