Abstract
With the advancement of modern radiotherapy technology, radiation dose and dose distribution have significantly improved. as part of Natural development, interest has recently been renewed by treatment, especially in the use of heavy charged particles, because these radiation types serve theoretical advantages in all biological and physical aspects. The interactions of alpha particle with matter were studied and the stopping powers of alpha particle with Bone Tissue were calculated by using Zeigler’s formula and SRIM software, also the Range for this particle were calculated by using Mat lab language for (0.01-1000) MeV alpha energy.
Highlights
The stopping power is the rate of loss of energy per unit length
Alpha-Range in bone tissue was measured using the language of the mat lab, the following shapes illustrate these measurements: Figure 1: Mass stopping power for alpha particle in the bone tissue by SRIM program
2) At high energies, we find that the stopping power is inversely proportional to the square speed of the particle or in other words inversely proportional to the energy of particle
Summary
The stopping power is the rate of loss of energy per unit length (dE⁄dx). It depends on the speed and charge of both the fallen particles and the target material. [1,2].The loss of energy and the range of particles or ions in the air, tissues and polymers are very important in most researches and applications such as radiation science such as blood cancer, cell alteration, radiation mutations, nuclear physic [3,4]. “CALCULATION OF THE STOPPING POWER OF ALPHA PARTICLES AND ITS RANGE IN BONE TISSUE.” International Journal of Research - Granthaalayah, 7(4), 315-320. The other method used in this work to calculate stopping power is Ziegler's formulae.
