Secondary neutron and photon dose in proton therapy

Radiotherapy and Oncology, 1998
The dose due to secondary neutrons and photons in proton therapy was estimated with Monte Carlo simulations. Three existing facilities treating eye and deep-seated tumours were taken into account. The results of the calculations related to eye proton therapy were verified with measurements.The simulations were performed with the FLUKA code.

Quantum detector tomography of a time-multiplexed superconducting nanowire single-photon detector at telecom wavelengths [PDF]

, 2013
Superconducting nanowire single-photon detectors (SNSPDs) are widely used in telecom wavelength optical quantum information science applications. Quantum detector tomography allows the positive-operator-valued measure (POVM) of a single-photon detector ...
