  • Patent number: 10420957
    Abstract: A method for creating a first data set for modifying an irradiation plan parameter data set used for controlling an irradiation system for irradiating a target volume in an irradiation volume using an ion beam includes defining a sensitive volume within the biological material to be irradiated, determining a fluence distribution of the ion beam, determining a microscopic dose distribution of the ion beam, determining, from the microscopic dose distribution of the ion beam, a spatial microscopic damage distribution of the ion beam, determining an expected value for a number of correlated damage events in a sub-micrometer range in the sensitive volume from the spatial microscopic damage distribution of the ion beam in the sensitive volume, determining the effect of the ion beam on the biological material, and storing data that indicate the effect of the ion beam on the material.

  • Publication number: 20120029862
    Abstract: A method for determining an action of a particle beam on a material at least partially irradiated or to be irradiated by the particle beam includes providing at least one particle beam parameter of the particle beam and at least one material property parameter of the material. A microscopic damage correlation is performed and the at least one particle beam parameter of the particle beam and that at least one material property parameter of the material are used so as to determine the action of the particle beam on the material.
