Simulation of Micro-Nanodosimetry Spectra and Free Radicals in Hadrontherapy
This study focuses on the simulation of micro-nanodosimetry spectra and free radicals using Geant4-DNA and LPCHEM for ion beams in the context of biophysics models for treatment optimizations in hadrontherapy applications. The research involves the development and optimization of NanOx and MKM models for cell survival prediction to enhance treatments optimization and accurate biological dose estimation. Various tools and techniques are employed to generate output data, simulate biological dose distribution, and create biophysical models requiring specialized input data related to cell killing components, energy deposition, and OH yield at different scales.
