Development and creation of conditions for the radiation of biological objects with high energy protons
Depth distribution of an absorbed proton radiation dose was studied by both calculation and experimental methods on a cylindrical, homogeneous plexiglass phantom that represented the geometric form of a dog. The basis of the heterogeneous phantom was the natural skeleton of a dog, muscle tissue was simulated by a mixture of paraffin and silica filler, and lung tissue by gelatine capsules.
