The Role of Nuclear Fragmentation in Particle Therapy and Space Radiation Protection
The transport of so-called HZE particles (those having high charge, Z, and energy, E) through matter is crucially important both in space radiation protection and in the clinical setting where heavy ions are used for cancer treatment. Transport physics is governed by two types of interactions, elect...
