A theoretical model of the quasistatic electric field, formed at the rear surface of a thin solid target irradiated by a ultraintense subpicosecond laser pulse, due to the appearance of a cloud of ultrarelativistic bound electrons, is developed. It allows one to correctly describe the spatial profile of the accelerating field and to predict the maximum energies and the energy spectra of the accelerated ions. The agreement of the theoretical expectations with the experimental data looks satisfactory in a wide range of conditions. Previsions of regimes achievable in the future are given.

Validation of Light-Ion Quantum Molecular Dynamics (LIQMD) model for hadron therapy.
Phys Med
December 2024
Department of Biological Sciences, Tokushima University, Tokushima 770-8503, Japan. Electronic address:
Purpose: This study aims to validate the Light-Ion Quantum Molecular Dynamics (LIQMD) model, an advanced version of the QMD model for more accurate simulations in hadron therapy, incorporated into Geant4 (release 11.2).
Methods: Two sets of experiments are employed.
Hydrogen-induced tunable remanent polarization in a perovskite nickelate.

Materials with field-tunable polarization are of broad interest to condensed matter sciences and solid-state device technologies. Here, using hydrogen (H) donor doping, we modify the room temperature metallic phase of a perovskite nickelate NdNiO into an insulating phase with both metastable dipolar polarization and space-charge polarization. We then demonstrate transient negative differential capacitance in thin film capacitors.

Purpose: This paper presents a novel method for the calculation of three-dimensional (3D) Bragg-Gray water-to-detector stopping power ratio (s ) distributions for proton and carbon ion beams.
Methods: Contrary to previously published fluence-based calculations of the stopping power ratio, the s calculation method used in this work is based on the specific way GATE/Geant4 scores the energy deposition. It only requires the use of the so-called DoseActor, as available in GATE, for the calculation of the s at any point of a 3D dose distribution.
Simulating galactic cosmic ray effects: Synergy modeling of murine tumor prevalence after exposure to two one-ion beams in rapid sequence.

Department of Mathematics, University of California at Berkeley, United States. Electronic address:
Health risks from galactic cosmic rays (GCR) in space travel above low earth orbit remain a concern. For many years accelerator experiments investigating space radiation induced prevalence of murine Harderian gland (HG) tumorigenesis have been performed to help estimate GCR risks. Most studies used acute, relatively low fluence, exposures.

Center for Nuclear Technologies, Technical University of Denmark, Roskilde, Denmark.
The ion recombination is examined in parallel-plate ionization chambers in scanning proton beams at the Danish Centre for Particle Therapy and the Skandion Clinic. The recombination correction factor k is investigated for clinically relevant energies between 70 MeV and 244 MeV for dose rates below 400 Gy min in air. The Boutillon formalism is used to separate the initial and general recombination.
