Moving Beyond a Generic Rbe: Experimental Validation of GSM2 for Clinical Proton Therapy

Proton therapy plans are optimized by relating the delivered dose to an equivalent photon dose using the Relative Biological Effectiveness (RBE). Clinically, a constant RBE of 1.1 is assumed, despite evidence that RBE varies along the proton beam path. Accura...

In-Pulse Dose Rate Effects on Tld-100 Response: A Five-Order-of-Magnitude Proton Study

To characterize TLD-100 (LiF:Mg,Ti) detector response to synchrotron-based therapeutic proton beams across in-pulse dose rates spanning 0.1 to 2,000 Gy/s.
