Optimisation of a novel micro-calorimeter through Monte Carlo simulations and thermal analysis for use in particle therapy
The high uncertainty in the Relative Biological Effectiveness (RBE) values of particle therapy beams, which are used in combination with the quantity absorbed dose in radiotherapy, together with the increase in the number of particle therapy centres worldwide necessitate a better understating of the...
