Gamma component dosimetry in the thermal column of the TRIGA reactor in Pavia

This presentation describes the assessment of the gamma rays spectrum and dose. Yhe result have been used to perform dosimetry in cell cultures for in-vitro BNCT studies.

Use of alanine EPR dosimeters for discriminating neutron and photon components in the thermal column of Pavia Triga reactor

The main gol of the present work is to investigate the response behaviour of alanine EPR pellets in clinical proton anc carbon ion beams. Proton irradiations were carried out at PSI (Switzerland) using both passive and active scattering modality, whereas, C ions irradiation were performed at GSI (Germany) adopting the raster scanning modality.

Phenol compounds for Electron Spin Resonance (ESR) dosimetry in gamma and neutron field

The use of neutrons for cancer treatments has stimulated the research for beam characterization in order to optimize the therapy procedures in Neutron Capture Therapy (Altieri, 2008). Several research laboratories have shown an increasing interest aimed at extending the applicability of Electron Spin Resonance (ESR) dosimetry to radiotherapy with different types of radiation beams. In particular, ESR spectrometry provides absorbed dose measurements through the detection of the stable free radicals produced by ionizing radiations. The ESR dosimetric method has many advantages such as simple and rapid dose evaluation, the readout procedure is non-destructive, linear response of many organic a…
