1. Determination of absorbed dose in fields of fast neutrons
Abstract : Analytical models have been developed to solve energy deposition problems in finite detectors and near interfaces in beams of fast neutrons. Dose expressions have been derived, which are suitable for numerical evaluation. The detectors or volumes of interest have been characterized by distributions of chord length along which the particles travel. READ MORE

2. Towards nanodosimetry: therapeutic radiation measurements using the variance method
Abstract : 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. READ MORE
