Selective detection of secondary particles and neutrons produced in ion beam therapy with 3D sensitive voxel detector

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

Ion beam therapy is a rapidly developing method for treatment of certain types of cancer. A main advantage of ions is that they deposit most of the energy at the end of their range according to the Bragg curve. Unfortunately, the ion beam often generatesa substantial amount of energetic secondary particles with not negligible range. Thus, a fraction of the dose is deposited by other than the primary ions outside of the planned volume. It is, therefore, important to estimate and experimentally verify the distributions of these secondary particles. It is particularly difficult to identify fast neutrons generated by ions in tissue. Fast neutrons are usually detected via their interaction (scattering) with hydrogen nuclei (proton). The proton recoiled bythe scattered neutron is subsequently detected by a suitable sensor. The problem is that certain fraction of secondary particles consists of protons as well. Therefore, it is necessary to distinguish protons recoiled by neutrons from prot
