Sensitivity of silicon-to-water dose conversion and Bragg-peak metrics to stopping-power datasets in proton dosimetry
F. Matias, J. M. B. Shorto, P. de Vera +5
Accurate proton dosimetry requires consistent stopping-power data for detector-to-water conversion and Monte Carlo radiation transport. We quantify the sensitivity of water-to-sili…
Assessing the electronic excitation spectra of chromium, palladium and samarium from their stopping quantities
Fan Cheng, Pablo de Vera, Rafael Garcia-Molina
The electronic excitation spectrum of a material characterises the response to external electromagnetic perturbations through its energy loss function (ELF), which is obtained from…
Simulation of depth-dose curves and water equivalent ratios of energetic proton beams in cortical bone
Ana María Zamora-Vinaroz, Pablo de Vera, Isabel Abril +1
We have determined the depth-dose curve, the penetration range, and the water equivalent ratio (WER), for proton beams of clinical energies in cortical bone, by means of a detailed…
Calculated energy loss of swift light ions in platinum and gold: importance of the target electronic excitation spectrum
Isabel Abril, Pablo de Vera, Rafael Garcia-Molina
Understanding and predicting the energy loss of swift ions in metals is important for many applications of charged particle beams, such as analysis and modification of materials, a…
Simulating the nanometric track-structure of carbon ion beams in liquid water at energies relevant for hadrontherapy
Pablo de Vera, Stefano Simonucci, Paolo E. Trevisanutto +4
The nanometric track-structure of energetic ion beams in biological media determines the direct physical damage to living cells, which is one of the main responsibles of their kill…
Reactive molecular dynamics simulations of organometallic compound W(CO)6 fragmentation
Pablo de Vera, Alexey Verkhovtsev, Gennady Sushko +1
Irradiation- and collision-induced fragmentation studies provide information about geometry, electronic properties and interactions between structural units of various molecular sy…
Electron inelastic mean free paths in condensed matter down to a few electronvolts
Pablo de Vera, Rafael Garcia-Molina
A method is reported for a simple, yet reliable, calculation of electron inelastic mean free paths in condensed phase insulating and conducting materials, from the very low energie…
Transport of secondary electrons through coatings of ion-irradiated metallic nanoparticles
Kaspar Haume, Pablo de Vera, Alexey Verkhovtsev +3
The transport of low-energy electrons through the coating of a radiosensitizing metallic nanoparticle under fast ion irradiation is analyzed theoretically and numerically. As a cas…
The effect of ion-induced shock waves on the transport of reacting species around energetic ion tracks
Pablo de Vera, Eugene Surdutovich, Nigel J. Mason +2
The passage of energetic ions through tissue initiates a series of physico-chemical events, which lead to biodamage. The study of this scenario using a multiscale approach brought…
Radial doses around energetic ion tracks and the onset of shock waves on the nanoscale
Pablo de Vera, Eugene Surdutovich, Nigel J. Mason +1
Energetic ions lose their energy in tissue mainly by ionising its molecules. This produces secondary electrons which transport this energy radially away from the ion path. The rang…
Molecular dynamics study of accelerated ion-induced shock waves in biological media
Pablo de Vera, Nigel J. Mason, Fred. J. Currell +1
We present a molecular dynamics study of the effects of carbon- and iron-ion induced shock waves in DNA duplexes in liquid water. We use the CHARMM force field implemented within t…
