GEANT4 was used to calculate proton spectra at 8 different depths within a 200 MeV SOBP (3 cm width), serving as input to a dedicated Monte Carlo simulation code for nanodosimetry. Cell survival RBE values as a function of protondose were determined at each SOBP depth. Results: With an ...
Monte Carlo simulationThe deep understanding of the interaction between ionizing radiation and soft tissue is of fundamental for radiotherapy and hadron therapy. The complexity of the damage caused by radiation and its biological effectiveness depends on the structure of particles track at the scale of...
