1. The microdosimetric variance-covariance method used for beam quality characterization in radiation protection and radiation therapy
Sammanfattning : Radiation quality is described by the RBE (relative biological effectiveness) that varies with the ionizing ability of the radiation. Microdosimetric quantities describe distributions of energy imparted to small volumes and can be related to RBE. LÄS MER
2. Towards nanodosimetry: therapeutic radiation measurements using the variance method
Sammanfattning : Understanding how radiation damage occurs in human tissue seems to lie in the knowledge of energy depositions in DNA-size volumes, with diameters typically around a few nanometres. In such small volumes the energy transfers are stochastic and described using distributions of events along a particle track and relevant mean values. LÄS MER
