1. 1. Monte Carlo simulations of Linear Energy Transfer distributions in radiation therapy

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Högenergifysik

   Author : David Dahlgren; [2021]
   Keywords : Radiotherapy; Particle Physics; Linear Energy Transfer; proton therapy; carbon ion therapy;

   Abstract : In radiotherapy, a quantity asked for by clinics when calculating a treatment plan, along withdose, is linear energy transfer. Linear energy transfer is defined as the absorbed energy intissue per particle track length and has been shown to increase with relative biologicaleffectiveness untill the overkilling effect.

3. 2. Exploring the Use of Graphene as a Target Material for Laser Plasma Ion Acceleration

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionen; Lunds universitet/Atomfysik

   Author : Hannes Pahl; [2017]
   Keywords : Laser Plasma Acceleration; Target Material; Graphene; Physics and Astronomy;

   Abstract : The interaction of a solid target with an ultra-high intensity laser pulse can result in the laser plasma acceleration of ions. The recent proposal of a new laser plasma ion acceleration scheme, named chirped standing wave acceleration, has created interest in a new class of ultra-thin solid target materials, either freestanding or as a part of novel compound targets.
