Status report: Nanodosimetry of carbon ion beam at HIL
open access
Abstract
We present preliminary data for measured distributions of ionization cluster size produced by carbon ions in tissue equivalent media. The experiments were carried out with a beam of 92[[ce:hsp sp="0.25"/]]MeV carbon ions from the U200p cyclotron at the Heavy Ion Laboratory (HIL), University of Warsaw, and nitrogen targets using the so-called Jet Counter set-up.
