The STARTRACK experiment measures ionization cluster distributions in nanometric sites near charged particle tracks. This research advances track nanodosimetry by detailing ionization patterns at the nanoscale.

Area of Science:

  • Radiation physics
  • Nanodosimetry
  • Accelerator science

Background:

  • Understanding ionization patterns is crucial for radiation dosimetry.
  • Nanometric sites are key to studying charged particle track structure.
  • Previous studies utilized 20 nm detectors for alpha particle tracks.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To measure ionization cluster distributions in nanometric sites near charged particle tracks.
  • To develop and utilize new detectors for enhanced nanodosimetry.
  • To achieve a detection probability of 10(-5) for ionization clusters.

Main Methods:

  • Utilizing a wall-less 20 nm detector and a new 10 nm detector.
  • Employing ion beams from hydrogen to gold (7-28 MeV/amu) at the Tandem-Alpi accelerator.

  • Implementing a beam profile detector and event rejector counter to manage data collection and pile-up.

    • Main Results:

    • The STARTRACK experiment is designed to measure ionization cluster distributions with high precision.
    • The setup allows for the study of nanometric track structures at different radial distances.
    • Feasibility of achieving low occurrence probabilities (10(-5)) and low pile-up (<10(-6)) is demonstrated.

    Conclusions:

    • The STARTRACK experiment is poised to significantly advance track nanodosimetry.
    • The developed methods and detectors enable detailed characterization of ionization at the nanoscale.
    • This research contributes to a deeper understanding of radiation-matter interactions.
