Introduction: In order to optimize hadrontherapy treatments, it is needed to consider the biological effect on irradiated tumor cells. The biological dose can be evaluated through biophysical models, such as the Microdosimetric Kinetic Model (MKM)[1-5]. This model is implemented to take into account a corrected lineal energy spectrum obtained...

We investigate the proton energy loss in GaN in an energy range between 0 and 65 MeV. The energy of protons generated by a cyclotron at about 65 MeV is varied by inserting an energyabsorbing medium of varying thickness. The precise modeling of the GaN Schottky diode response as a function of the absorbing medium thickness allows us to...
