Linear energy transfer incorporated intensity modulated proton therapy optimization [PDF]
Physics in Medicine & Biology, 2017 The purpose of this study was to investigate the feasibility of incorporating linear energy transfer (LET) into the optimization of intensity modulated proton therapy (IMPT) plans. Because increased LET correlates with increased biological effectiveness of protons, high LETs in target volumes and low LETs in critical structures and normal tissues are ...

Optimal Dephasing for Ballistic Energy Transfer in Disordered Linear Chains
Physical Review E, 2017 We study the interplay between dephasing, disorder, and openness on transport efficiency in a one-dimensional chain of finite length $N$, and in particular the beneficial or detrimental effect of dephasing on transport.

High LET-Like Radiation Tracks at the Distal Side of Accelerated Proton Bragg Peak
Frontiers in Oncology, 2021 Proton therapy is a type of hadron radiotherapy used for treating solid tumors. Unlike heavy charged elements, proton radiation is considered to be low LET (Linear Energy Transfer) radiation, like X-rays. However, the clinical SOBP (Spread Out Bragg Peak)
