Nanodosimetry in a clinical neutron therapy beam using the variance-covariance method and Monte Carlo simulations

Nanodosimetric single-event distributions or their mean values may contribute to a better understanding of how radiation induced biological damages are produced. They may also provide means for radiation quality characterization in therapy beams. Experimental nanodosimetry is however technically cha...
