Preliminary evaluation of the correspondence between ion-acoustic signals and luminescence from the absorption of pulsed proton beams in a liquid scintillator See

For eventual contribution to the subject of radiotherapy with heavy ions, our aim was to advance the field of ionacoustics by establishing the feasibility of using optical images of proton dose deposited in a liquid scintillator as a reference for thermoacoustic measurements in the...
