Contribution to dose in healthy tissue from secondary target fragments in therapeutic proton, He and C beams measured with CR-39 plastic nuclear track detectors

The linear energy transfer (LET) spectrum, absorbed dose and dose equivalent from secondary particles of LET(∞)H(2)O ≥15 keV/μm deposited within the plateau of the Bragg curve in primary particle-induced nuclear target fragmentation reactions in tissue during proton and heavy ion radiotherapy were m...
