Development of a collimated α-particle source for localised tissue irradiation at STUKAim of the studyConstruction of a narrow beam system specially designed for non-targeted effects experiments. The system is based on the existing 238Pu broad beam irradiation facility. ImplementationA beam-limiting aperture will be designed, manufactured and installed to the existing broad beam irradiator facility. The resulting beam will have a cross section of approximately 0.1 mm by 15 mm at the target position. The design of the aperture minimises the scattering and a well-defined dose distribution in the target will be achieved. The dose distribution will be assessed by measurements and simulations. Dissemination and exploitation of resultsThe results are part of the NOTE project. CollaboratorsNo collaborators outside STUK.
