Unexpected toxicity during proton therapy (PT) cancer treatments may be associated with the linear energy transfer (LET) or the instantaneous dose rate. However, millisecond timescale dose rate determination becomes unfeasible in modern systems due to the inh...

Proton therapy treatments deliver a prescribed absorbed dose to the patient. This work investigates both energy deposition and the temporal evolution of water radiolysis products at micrometric scales, combining a multi-scale approach to assess how identical...
