Differential tissue sparing of FLASH ultra high dose rates: an {\it in-silico} study
Ramin Abolfath, Alexander Baikalov, Sohrab Rahvar +4
Purpose: To propose a theory for the differential tissue sparing of FLASH ultra high dose rates (UHDR) through inter-track reaction-diffusion mechanism. Methods: We calculate the t…

The effect of non-ionizing excitations on the diffusion of ion species and inter-track correlations in FLASH ultra-high dose rate radiotherapy
Ramin Abolfath, Alexander Baikalov, Stefan Bartzsch +2
We present a microscopic mechanism that accounts for the outward burst of "cold" ion species (IS) in a high-energy particle track due to coupling with ''hot" non-ion species (NIS).…
