| Description | The development of a dosimetric system capable of determining energy depositions in tissue regions that are smaller than a few 100 nanometers is projected. These objectives are met by evaluation of the data produced by a macro-subsystem and a micro-subsystem. Both systems are in essence multiple ionization chambers that are normally operated in a gated pulse mode. The macro-system yields absorbed radiation dose as a function of location in a phantom of the human trunk when it operates in the dose mode; it registers only those sections as a signal in which the primary particle or any of its secondaries have passed, in the pulse mode. The function of the micro-system is to provide detailed information of the track structure by determining lateral energy spread due to delta ray formation or other secondary particle production. |
