(2) quantify the Doppler shift peak position of characteristic gamma in power spectrum;
(3) ion energy and range are obtained by numerical algorithm.
In step described above, step (1) is excited after nuclear reaction occurs with body material using incident carbon ion, and Continue this physical process that de excitation hair in rapid flight generates gamma, step (2), which is based on Lorentz transformation principle, to be pushed away Calculation obtains the theory of relativity Doppler shift effect formula:, which describes under relative motion state, sees The wave frequency that the person of examining is recordedWith the wave frequency under emission source center-of-mass angleRelationship, this relational dependence is in transmitting Movement velocity of the source relative to keeperAnd direction of observation.Gamma radiation is also a kind of electromagnetic wave, therefore in-flight12The frequency of C* transmitting gamma is influenced by Doppler effect and is shifted, i.e., gamma energy shifts, and passes through certain party To the gamma spectra for detecting a certain depth site, and quantify to obtain the energy at Doppler shift gamma peak, recycles numerical algorithm It can be obtained ion energy and range.
Gamma spectra described in step (1) is prompt fission gammas's power spectrum after rejecting deferred gamma using flight time measurement. Deferred gamma from nucleic decay, due to these nucleic half-life period far more than carbon ion beam pulse interval time, Therefore long-term during the entire course for the treatment of to keep existing, form the platform on time spectrum.These nucleic are mostly from therapeutic process The interaction of neutron and substance belongs to third level particle, it is difficult to reflect primary particle, i.e., the range of initial carbon ion and Energy information, it is therefore desirable to reject, to reduce measurement error.Prompt fission gammas is only in carbon ion and the ns grade after material atom collision Time memory exists, therefore the shape of pulse peak is presented on time spectrum, this part gamma includes subsequent information needed.Flight time Measurement can obtain in each carbon ion beam pulse, be incident on the time difference that gamma signal is recorded from carbon ion, The examination of prompt fission gammas Yu deferred gamma can be realized by this time difference, it is final to obtain prompt fission gammas's power spectrum.
