Research Highlights
• Multiple levels of stochasticity in different radiation biophysical models: from physics to biology
• In- and out-of-field radiation quality with microdosimetry and its impact on RBE in proton therapy
• Microdosimetry with a mini-TEPC in the spread-out Bragg peak of 148 MeV protons
• Machine learning techniques applied to therapeutic energies particle tracking in microdosimetry
