Opis:
The influence of the energy spectrum and the spatial spread of a therapeutic proton beam impinging on an irradiated medium (called the entrance beam) on the depth-dose characteristics in water, in the proton energy range of 50 division sign 70 MeV was studied. It turns out that full width at half maximum (FWHM) of the Bragg peak increases almost linearly with increasing proton energy. It ranges from 1.53 mm for 50 MeV to 2.59 mm for 70 MeV, for monoenergetic protons. Moreover, the significant influence of the energy spread of the entrance proton beam on the intensity and FWHM of the Bragg peak is visible. FWHM of the Bragg peak of 60 MeV protons is equal to 2.03, 3.37 and 5.86 mm for a monoenergetic beam and beams with an energy spread of 0.5 and 1 MeV SD (standard deviation), respectively. The intensity of the Bragg peak of a 60 MeV proton beam with an energy spread of 1 MeV SD is approximately 25% less than that for a monoenergetic beam. Moreover, the Bragg peak shifts to smaller depths as the energy spread of the entrance beam increases. The shift of the peak is about 0.2÷0.3 mm for a beam with an energy spread of 0.5 MeV SD and between 0.4 division sign 0.5 mm for an energy spread of 1 MeV SD, compared with a monoenergetic beam in the energy range from 50 to 60 MeV. However, the spatial spread of the entrance proton beam does not affect significantly the depth-dose characteristic.

Opis:
In this paper, the thermal and epithermal neutron fluence distributions in the vicinity of the Primus Siemens accelerator are presented. The measurements were carried out by the use of the neutron activation method for 15 MV X-rays and electron beams of 18 MeV and 21 MeV. From the radiation safety point of view for the hospital personnel, it is important to know the thermal and epithermal neutron fluence distribution in the vicinity of the accelerator because the neutrons interacting with atoms of a medium by various processes induce the activity of objects (accelerator, other apparatus etc.) and walls in the treatment room. The thermal and epithermal neutron capture, particularly, in high atomic number materials of the accelerator head can be a significant source of gamma radiation and it has to be taken into account for estimation of the work safety of the personnel. Values of the neutron fluence were normalized to the maximum photon (or electron) dose Dmax,gamma (e) measured at the central axis of therapeutic X-ray (or electron) beam in a water phantom. The thermal neutron fluences measured during the 15 MV X-ray emission varied between 1.1 × 10 5 n ź cm 2ź Gy -1 and 4.4 × 10 5 n ź cm -2ź Gy 1 whereas the epithermal neutron fluences ranged from 0.2 × 10 5 n ź cm 2ź Gy- 1 to 1.8 × 105 n ź cm -2ź Gy -1. In the case of electron beams, the neutron fluence measurements were performed only at the isocentre. The obtained thermal and epithermal neutron fluences were 1.2 × 10 4 n ź cm -2ź Gy -1 and 0.6 × 10 4 n ź cm -2ź Gy -1, respectively, for the 18 MeV electrons. In the the case of the 21 MeV electron beams the thermal neutron fluence was -2.0 × 10 4 n ź cm -2ź Gy -1 whereas the epithermal neutron fluence was 0.8 × 10 4 n ź cm -2ź Gy-1.

Opis:
Verification of calculations of the depth-dose distributions in water, using GEANT4 (version of 4.9.3) and MCNPX (version of 2.7.0) Monte Carlo codes, was performed for the scatterer-phantom system used in the dosimetry measurements in the proton therapy of eye tumours. The simulated primary proton beam had the energy spectra distributed according to the Gauss distribution with the cut at energy greater than that related to the maximum of the spectrum. The energy spectra of the primary protons were chosen to get the possibly best agreement between the measured relative depth-dose distributions along the central-axis of the proton beam in a water phantom and that derived from the Monte Carlo calculations separately for the both tested codes. The local depth-dose differences between results from the calculations and the measurements were mostly less than 5% (the mean value of 2.1% and 3.6% for the MCNPX and GEANT4 calculations). In the case of the MCNPX calculations, the best fit to the experimental data was obtained for the spectrum with maximum at 60.8 MeV (more probable energy), FWHM of the spectrum of 0.4 MeV and the energy cut at 60.85 MeV whereas in the GEANT4 calculations more probable energy was 60.5 MeV, FWHM of 0.5 MeV, the energy cut at 60.7 MeV. Thus, one can say that the results obtained by means of the both considered Monte Carlo codes are similar but they are not the same. Therefore the agreement between the calculations and the measurements has to be verified before each application of the MCNPX and GEANT4 codes for the determination of the depth-dose curves for the therapeutic protons.
