Description
In this paper we present first microdosimetric data, collected with such a mini TEPC, of the therapeutic proton beam of the Centre A. Lacassagne of Nice. By using the response function rD(y) for early intestine damage in mouse at 2 Gy, the RBE has been calculated in different therapeutic situations. The comparison between the relative physical dose (derived from microdosimetric spectra) and available radiobiological data is satisfactory
