First in situ TOF-PET study using digital photon counters for proton range verification

Positron emission tomography (PET) is the imaging modality most extensively tested for treatment monitoring in particle therapy. Optimal use of PET in proton therapy requires in situ acquisition of the relatively strong ¹⁵O signal due to its relatively short half-life (∼2 min) and high oxygen content in biological tissues, enabling...

Implementation of ILDMs based on a Representation in Generalized Coordinates

The usage of detailed chemical kinetics for the mathematical modeling of combustion processes is desirable, but leads to a high computational effort. In the present work one of the methods of simplification of chemical kinetics - Intrinsic low-dimensional manifolds (ILDMs) is considered. Whereas in most CFD applications ILDMs are calculated in...
