Elements of Microdosimetry

Medical Physics, 1991
This is an introductory tutorial to the field of microdosimetry. Following a brief historical outline, we review the physics of experimental and theoretical microdosimetry and the application of microdosimetry to radiation biology within the so‐called “site” approximation.

Microdosimetry of Tritium

Health Physics, 1993
Microdosimetric aspects of tritium radiotoxicity are discussed. The level of coincidence of tritium locations and of radiation-sensitive sites does not appear to be decisive for relative effectiveness of tritium exposures. The actual target structure and dimensions seem to be of more importance.

Microdosimetry and Thermoluminescence

Radiation Research, 1984
The mechanism for production of light from a thermoluminescent phosphor requires the combination of a trapped electron and hole at a luminescent center. The kinetics is that of a second-order process. Accordingly one may expect a similarity in the formalism for describing thermoluminescent emission (TL) and the theory of dual radiation action in ...

Silicon microdosimetry

Radiation Protection Dosimetry, 2010
Silicon detectors are being studied as microdosemeters since they can provide sensitive volumes of micrometric dimensions. They can be applied for assessing single-event effects in electronic instrumentation exposed to complex fields around high-energy accelerators or in space missions. When coupled to tissue-equivalent converters, they can be used for

Microdosimetry of Electrons in Liquid Water Using the Low-Energy Models of Geant4

open access: yesJournal of Applied Physics, 2017
The biological effects of ionizing radiation at the cellular level are frequently studied using the well-known formalism of microdosimetry, which provides a quantitative description of the stochastic aspects of energy deposition in irradiated media ...

Solid state microdosimetry

Nuclear Instruments and Methods in Physics Research Section B: Beam Interactions with Materials and Atoms, 2001
A review of solid state microdosimetry is presented with an emphasis on silicon-based devices. The historical foundations and basics of microdosimetry are briefly provided. Various methods of experimental regional microdosimetry are discussed to facilitate a comparison with the more recent development of silicon microdosimetry.

Microdosimetry of Electron Microbeams

Radiation Research, 2004
Track structures of 25, 50 and 80 keV primary electrons, simulated by the detailed-history Monte Carlo method, were analyzed for the frequency distributions of energy deposited in spheres with a diameter of 1 microm, placed in a cylindrically symmetrical array around the projected initial direction of the primary electron.

On the Application of Microdosimetry to Radiobiology

Radiation Research, 1988
The pertinence of proportional counter microdosimetry to radiobiology rests on the idea of the site model; in view of the current emphasis on formalisms based on the distance model, it would appear that the role of experimental microdosimetry as a predictive tool is compromised. In this paper we challenge this opinion.
