Abstract:
The energy delivered by a swift proton beam in materials of interest to hadron therapy (DNA and liquid water) is investigated in the present work. An explicit condensed - state description of the target excitation spectrum based on the dielectric formalism is used to calculate the energy - loss rate of the beam in the irradiated materials.The present work focus on : (i) Calculations of the energy loss, the probability P(E,T) of electronic excitation produced by proton, the average energy <E> transferred to the targets by electronic excitation, Partial Stopping Power, Effective Charge (PSPEC) using the dielectric function (PPA) to describe the excitation spectrum of DNA and H2O. Results show that the protons with energy between 0.05 MeV to 2.5 MeV are very efficient in producing secondary electrons in DNA and H2O, which are able to produce strand breaks and could be very effective for the biological damage of malignant cells.The ionization potential (the so - called I - value) is the most important material quantity in the calculation of the electronic stopping power of energetic ions (>1 MeV u−1) has been evaluated through Bethe’s formula and represents its main source of uncertainty at high energies, I DNA found to be 80.01 and I H2O .(ii) Calculation of shell correction of swift proton has been done by adopting (PPA) dielectric function of DNA and Liquid water targets. As well as calculations of shell correction using HO - GOS, KT - IM and FEG - ELF models, and compared the results come from three models.I(iii) Barkas effect, ( L1) and Bloch correction ( L2) for penetrating proton in DNA and Liquid water have been calculated using (KT, HO and FEG) moels, where the Bethe - Bloch parameters like, Barkas effect, Z 1L 1, Bloch correction, and Shell correction, ⁄ are unknown for DNA and liquid water.Results for protons impacting in the most representative biological targets (such as water or DNA components) show a very good comparison with experimental data. Because of its simplicity and great predictive effectiveness, the method can be immediately extended to any combination of biological target and charged particle of interest in ion beam cancer therapy.The equations of theoretical formulas for interesting physical quantities are programmed in a programs AuFa - H - DNA.for and AuFa - H - H2O.for , [see the flow charts in Appendix A] which contains some subroutines have been written in Fortran - 90 for the numerical calculations.
