  1. 1. Monte Carlo simulations of Linear Energy Transfer distributions in radiation therapy

    Uppsats för yrkesexamina på avancerad nivå, Uppsala universitet/Högenergifysik

    Författare :David Dahlgren; [2021]
    Nyckelord :Radiotherapy; Particle Physics; Linear Energy Transfer; proton therapy; carbon ion therapy;

    Sammanfattning : In radiotherapy, a quantity asked for by clinics when calculating a treatment plan, along withdose, is linear energy transfer. Linear energy transfer is defined as the absorbed energy intissue per particle track length and has been shown to increase with relative biologicaleffectiveness untill the overkilling effect.

  3. 2. The future of viral vectors for gene therapy

    Kandidat-uppsats, Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning

    Författare :Elias Ekstedt; Inna Fryckstedt; Hanna Hyllander; Josefin Jonsson; Elin Ring; Felix Wærn; [2021]
    Nyckelord :Gene therapy; adenovirus; alpharetrovirus; baculovirus; adeno-associated virus; lentivirus; herpes simplex virus; foamy virus; gammaretrovirus;

    Sammanfattning : Gene therapy is a fast growing technology that offers treatments for genetic diseases. The method is based on introducing genetic material into a patient to replace the disease-causing gene, using a vector. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Modelling the cell survival using the RCR model : Bachelor Thesis in Medical Physics

    Kandidat-uppsats, Stockholms universitet/Fysikum

    Författare :Grigory Efimov; [2017]
    Nyckelord :LET; hypoxia; RBE; OER; ion therapy;

    Sammanfattning : Background: Current studies in radiotherapy aim to develop better methods for curing patients fromcancer. Since different types of radiation interact with biological matter in various ways, the resultsof their interaction and their effectiveness with respect to the biological damage to cells have ageneral investigation interest.

  5. 4. Exploring the Use of Graphene as a Target Material for Laser Plasma Ion Acceleration

    Master-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionen; Lunds universitet/Atomfysik

    Författare :Hannes Pahl; [2017]
    Nyckelord :Laser Plasma Acceleration; Target Material; Graphene; Physics and Astronomy;

    Sammanfattning : The interaction of a solid target with an ultra-high intensity laser pulse can result in the laser plasma acceleration of ions. The recent proposal of a new laser plasma ion acceleration scheme, named chirped standing wave acceleration, has created interest in a new class of ultra-thin solid target materials, either freestanding or as a part of novel compound targets.
