2: Physical measurement and modelling of neutron fields

Objectives

 

The purpose of this WP is

  • Characterisation of the experimental radiation beams and determination of full radiation field at the point of interest;
  • Measurement and modelling of neutron fluence and energy spectra out of the treatment field in proton therapy beams;
  • Development of a track structure model of the interactions of charged particles in the experimental beams with the macro-molecules within cells.
