Energy-Loss Straggling and Delta-Ray Escape in Solid-State Microdosimeters Used in Ion-Beam Therapy
Microdosimetry is increasingly adopted in the characterization of proton and carbon ion beams used in cancer therapy. Spectra and mean values of lineal energy calculated in frequency and dose are seen by many as the tools which, by complementing dosimetric measurements, allow for the most complete c...
