Proton therapy presents an interesting and important challenge to accelerator physics. Practical restrictions such as room size, gantry weight, cost have led a demand for more compact affordable devices. Success would benefit significant number of patients every year. Dielectric wall accelerators could provide this breakthrough, but there is limited work available regarding their feasibility or possible integration into medical devices, no solutions exist longitudinal beam control. In work,...
Neutron exposure poses a unique radiation protection concern because neutrons have large, energy-dependent relative biological effectiveness (RBE) for stochastic effects. Recent computational studies on the microdosimetric properties of neutron dose deposition implicated clustered DNA damage as likely contributor to this marked energy dependence. So far, publications focused solely RBE inducing clusters containing two or more double strand breaks (DSBs). In study, we conducted novel...
