TUDelft-IRI-ST Experimental microdosimetry gamma radiation alpha particles Study of the effects of ionising radiation on biological targets by investigating the statistical distribution of energy deposition at micrometer level. From: Broerse et al. d = 14  m d = 1  m

TUDelft-IRI-ST Tissue-Equivalent Proportional Counter (TEPC) - Wall and gas are tissue-equivalent. - Determine energy deposition in the wall by measuring in gas. - Single-event measurements. TEPC Lowering the gas pressure. Anode wire Helix cathode

TUDelft-IRI-ST Applications Radiobiology - link between experimental microdosimetry & radiobiology based on site measurements Radiotherapy - FNT, BNCT, Proton Therapy, Heavy ions Therapy Radiation protection - estimating dose equivalent (H) - unknown radiation Air and Space - aircraft crews and manned missions

TUDelft-IRI-ST Small counter cavity High flux radiation sources in radiotherapy facilities - Pile-up effect (Mini TEPC) Measuring low dose rate for radiation protection purposes - Increasing sensitivity of the counter (Mini multi-element TEPC) Main target size of few tens of nm (chromatin fibre) - Limitation of decreasing gas pressure (Mini TEPC)
