Abstract

THE BIOPHYSICAL IMPACT of nuclear fragmentation of particle beams relevant for therapy, accounting for both processes arising from projectile and target nuclei, is here reviewed and summarized, emphasizing the role and relevance of nuclear fragmentation measurements and calculations in different media, for getting correct assessments of the biological weighted dose profile in particle therapy plans.
