3 Interaction of Radiation with Matter: Heavy Charged Particles Directly and Indirectly Ionizing Radiation Classification of Indirectly Ionizing Radiation Radiation Quantities and Units Dose in Water for Various Radiation Beams Concept of Interaction Cross-Section Interaction of Charged Particles with Matter
4 Directly Ionizing Radiation Light charged particles (electrons and positrons) Heavy charged particles (protons, deutrons and alpha particles) Heavier charged particles (e.g. carbon-14)
5 Types and Sources of Directly Ionizing Radiation Heavy charged particles are produced for use in radiotherapy through acceleration of nuclei or ions in cyclotrons, synchrotrons or heavy particle linacs 3 4 Proton: H; Deuteron: H; Triton: H; Helium-3: He; α-particle: He Heavier Charged Particles: Heavier charged particles are nuclei or ions of heavier atoms such as carbon-12: C, nitrogen-14: N, or neon-20: Ne Pions Pions ( π -mesons) are produced in nuclear reactions of energetic electrons or protons striking nuclei.
6 Types and Sources of Directly Ionizing Radiation Electrons released in the medium by photoelectric effect are referred to as photoelectrons. Electrons released in the medium by Compton effect are referred to as Compton or recoil electrons. Electrons produced in the medium by pair production interaction in the field of the nucleus or in the field of an orbital are referred to as pair production electrons. β Electrons emitted from nuclei by radioactive decay are referred to as beta particles. Electrons produced by linear accelerators (linacs), betatrons or microtrons for use in radiotherapy with kinetic energies typically in the range from 4 MeV to 30 MeV are referred to as megavoltage electrons. Electrons produced through Auger effect are referred to as Auger electrons, Coster-Kronig electrons or super Coster-Kronig electrons. Electrons produced by charged particle collisions are of interest in radiation dosimetry and referred to as δ -rays.
