R&D in the field of fast neutron therapy

1. Management of research project for concept and design of facility for radiobiological research with proton beam of low-energy (20 MeV) on the basis of a high-current linear accelerator.2. Development of the method for for diagnostic of proton beams with various energy based on radiochromic films dosimetry.3. Proposal preparation for further scientific research in the field of radiobiology and therapy.

1. Responsible person for the radiobiological experiments with heavy ions at the ITEP synchrotron:- conception and design of the experimental setup (beam delivery system, target positioning, vacuum system, beam diagnostic);- development and operation of the dosimetry system for pulsed heavy ion beam (fluence based approach, ionization chambers, solid-state detectors, radiochromic films);- planning and preparation of the radiobiological experiments, communication with biologist;- processing and analyzing of the experimental data, such as digitized images (images from scintillators, digitized images of radiochromic films), signals from various detectors (fast current transformers, ionization chambers, silicon semiconductor detectors), analysis of the data from biologist;- proposal preparation for further scientific research, as well as applications for funding and scientific reports in various organizations.2. Participation in several research projects in the field of high energy density in matter physics (generated by heavy ions), proton radiography, applied physics on the basis of accelerator complex in ITEP, as well as on heavy ion synchrotron in GSI (Darmstadt, Germany). The main tasks in these projects were preparation of the experimental setup and beam diagnostics.
