2018:13 Prestudy - Detectors for variance measurements
Background The understanding of radiation quality requires knowledge about the energy deposition pattern of ionizing radiation on which models for cellular and sub-cellular damage can be built. Experimental data is fundamental in this context for quality assurance and bench-marking of models and simulations. Direct measurements are also of practical importance for radiation quality...
