Influence of heterogeneous media on Very High Energy Electron (VHEE) dose penetration and a Monte Carlo-based comparison with existing radiotherapy modalities

• First experimental demonstration of the relative insensitivity of VHEE beams to inhomogeneities. • Topas/GEANT4 simulations on experiments conducted at CERN’s CLEAR facility are in good agreement. • Simulations of proton beams and demonstrate their relative sensitivity to inhomogeneities. • Relati...
