  1. 1. Studies of clinical proton dosimetry using Monte Carlo simulation and experimental techniques

    Författare :Joakim Medin; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Proton dosimetry; Proton stopping power; Monte Carlo; Proton stopping-power ratios; Ionization chamber calibration; medicinsk strålningsfysik; Medical Radiation Physics;

    Sammanfattning : The present work aims at improving clinical proton dosimetry based on ionization chambers, and to bring its state of development closer to the corresponding status of conventional photon and electron dosimetry. In order to accomplish this, both theoretical and experimental methods have been used. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Monte Carlo Simulations of the Equilibrium Properties of Semi-stiff Polymer Chains : Efficient Sampling from Compact to Extended Structures

    Författare :Alexey Siretskiy; Christer Elvingson; Alexander Lyubartsev; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; polymers; equilibrium properties; statistical mechanics; computer simulation; Monte Carlo; Wang-Landau; compact structures; parallel computations; Physical chemistry; Fysikalisk kemi; Chemistry with specialization in Physical Chemistry; Kemi med inriktning mot fysikalisk kemi;

    Sammanfattning : Polymers is a class of molecules which can have many different structures due to a large number of degrees of freedom. Many biopolymers, e.g. DNA, but also synthetic macromolecules have special structural features due to their backbone stiffness. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Development of Experimental Brachytherapy Dosimetry Using Monte Carlo Simulations for Detector Characterization

    Författare :Vaiva Kaveckyte; Åsa Carlsson Tedgren; Alexandr Malusek; Hamza Benmakhlouf; Jan Seuntjens; Linköpings universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Dosimetry; brachytherapy; solid-state detectors; Monte Carlo;

    Sammanfattning : Brachytherapy (BT) is a type of interventional radiotherapy that is advantageous due to high absorbed dose conformity and possibility to deliver high dose in few fractions. It is often used for prostate and gynecological tumors as monotherapy or a boost alongside external beam radiotherapy (EBRT). LÄS MER

  5. 4. Development of Monte Carlo track structure simulations for protons and carbon ions in water

    Författare :Thiansin Liamsuwan; Hooshang Nikjoo; Shuzo Uehara; David Liljequist; Michael Dingfelder; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Radiation track structure; Monte Carlo simulations; interaction cross sections; classical trajectory Monte Carlo CTMC method; microdosimetry; ion beams; Medical Radiation Physics; medicinsk strålningsfysik;

    Sammanfattning : The goal of radiation therapy is to eradicate tumour cells while minimising radiation dose to healthy tissues. Ions including protons and carbon ions have gained increasing interest for cancer treatment. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Structure Modeling with X-ray Absorption and Reverse Monte Carlo: Applications to Water

    Författare :Mikael Leetmaa; Lars G M Pettersson; John Rehr; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; water structure; x-ray absorption; spectroscopy; diffraction; reverse monte carlo; XAS; EXAFS; XANES; RMC; TP-DFT spectrum calculations; Physics; Fysik; kemisk fysik; Chemical Physics;

    Sammanfattning : Water is an important substance. It is part of us, of our environment, and is a fundamental prerequisite for the existence of life as we know it. The structure of water is still, after over 100 years of research on the subject, however under debate. LÄS MER
