Probing radical chemistry at the Bragg peak of proton beams
Researchers from the DICO group at LIDYL, in collaboration with several partner institutions, have measured the local production of radical species in water with unprecedented spatial resolution along the trajectory of a proton beam. This study provides new insight into the physico-chemical processes occurring in the terminal region of proton beams, where energy deposition reaches…
