  2. 1. Direct writing with an MeV proton beam: Development and Applications

    Author : Vaida Auzelyte; Kärnfysik; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; direct writing; beam control; Physics; Fysik; Teknik; Technological sciences; proton beam; lithography; Fysicumarkivet A:2006:Auželytė;

    Abstract : This thesis presents work aimed at the development and application of a new lithography system for direct material patterning with the MeV proton beam at the Lund Nuclear Microprobe (NMP) facility. MeV proton beams are advantageous for use as a patterning tool due to their deep and well defined penetration through matter and their highly local energy deposition. READ MORE

  4. 2. Beam Modelling for Treatment Planning of Scanned Proton Beams

    Author : Peter Kimstrand; Bengt Glimelius; Erik Traneus; Nina Tilly; Anders Ahnesjö; Thomas Bortfeld; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : Radiation sciences; proton therapy; treatment planning; beam modelling; dose calculation; Monte Carlo; Strålningsvetenskap;

    Abstract : Scanned proton beams offer the possibility to take full advantage of the dose deposition properties of proton beams, i.e. the limited range and sharp peak at the end of the range, the Bragg peak. READ MORE

  5. 3. Parametric Model for Astrophysical Proton-Proton Interactions and Applications

    Author : Niklas Karlsson; Per Carlson; Simon Swordy; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; astrophysics; gamma rays; proton-proton interactions; cosmic rays; Astronomy and astrophysics; Astronomi och astrofysik;

    Abstract : Observations of gamma-rays have been made from celestial sources such as active galaxies, gamma-ray bursts and supernova remnants as well as the Galactic ridge. The study of gamma rays can provide information about production mechanisms and cosmic-ray acceleration. READ MORE

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

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

    Abstract : 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. READ MORE

  7. 5. Radiation therapy of upper gastrointestinal cancers with scanned proton beams : A treatment planning study

    Author : Gracinda Mondlane; Albert Siegbahn; Michael Gubanski; Iuliana Toma-Dasu; Crister Ceberg; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Treatment planning; gastric cancer; liver metastases; photon beam therapy; proton beam therapy; dosimetric comparison; normal tissue complication probability; risk of radiation-induced secondary cancer; patient selection; Medical Radiation Physics; medicinsk strålningsfysik;

    Abstract : Proton beam therapy (PBT), using scanned beams, is an emerging modality used for the treatment of cancer. The clinical advantages of PBT, compared to commonly used photon beam therapy, have been demonstrated in different studies. READ MORE
