Measurements of LET spectra of the JINR phasotron radiotherapy proton beam
Biological action of ionizing radiation can be described using the quantity called the Linear Energy Transfer (LET). The LET belongs to one of most important radiobiological quantities. In our paper, we focused on measurement of the LET spectra in the clinical proton beam of the Laboratory of Nuclea...

Digital Library of Periodicals of National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine| Summary: | Biological action of ionizing radiation can be described using the quantity called the Linear Energy Transfer (LET). The LET belongs to one of most important radiobiological quantities. In our paper, we focused on measurement of the LET spectra in the clinical proton beam of the Laboratory of Nuclear Problems (LNP) of the Joint Institute for Nuclear Research (JINR). The LET was calculated on the base of measurement with the Liulin-4C silicon semiconductor energy deposits spectrometer in several points along the depth-dose curve for different beam setups. Results can be used mainly for obtaining more detailed information about the radiation quality during the radiobiological experiments. |
