Proton radiation

Both the gray (Gy) and the rad are units of absorbed dose and reflect the amount of energy deposited into a mass of tissue (1 Gy = lOOrads). In this document, the absorbed dose is that dose received by the entire fetus (whole-body fetal dose). The referenced absorbed dose levels in this document are assumed to be from beta, gamma, or X-radiation. Neutron or proton radiation produces many of the health effects described herein at lower absorbed dose levels A fetal dose of 1 Gy (100 rads) will likely kill 50% of the embryos. The dose necessary to kill 100% of human embryos or fetuses before 18 weeks gestation is about 5Gy (500rads)...

Silicon semiconductor detectors for nuclear radiation monitors of neutron rays have been developed by Kitaguchi et al. (1995,1996). These are diffused p-n junction-type devices with low leakage current coated on the surface of the B-containing sensor element. Neutrons were detected as recoil protons by interaction of the proton radiator and a-particles generated by the nuclear reaction °B (n, a) Li. The energy response of this radiation detector meets the standard recommendations and is suited as an area monitor and a personal dosimeter as well. 

The decay may involve the emission of gamma, beta, alpha, neutron, proton radiation. 

Meanwhile there are data indicating a significantly enhanced RBE at least for In-vitro systems also in the case of proton radiation [156] however, since the relevance of this data to the clinical situation Is still under discussion, these data have so far not been considered for treatment planning In proton therapy. 

The PT resins also have superior elevated temperature properties, along with excellent properties at cryogenic temp>eratures. Their resistance to proton radiation under cryogenic conditions was a prime cause for their choice for use in the superconducting supercollider, subsequently canceled by the U.S. Congress. They are stiU available from the Lonza Company. 

Ionizing radiation includes fast electrons, protons, a-particles, neutrons, X- and y-radiation, but not ultraviolet radiation (s. Section 5.2). Between electron, X- and y-radiation, which are most often used, there is no difference in terms of radiation effect relevant to any change in plastic properties - given the same dose and dose rate [710]. For proton radiation and heavy charge particles, e.g., a-radiation, very little experience is available [711]. 

Because of its extreme flexibility at low temperatures, silicone is often used as binder or adhesive in aerospace applications. In these applications it is exposed to intensive proton radiation of up to 200 keV in terrestrial radiation belts. Under these conditions silicone and polydimethylsiloxane undergo degradation, partly under formation of hexamethylcyclotrisiloxane [745].
