Objectives
The aim of this WP is to investigate, at a fundamental and experimental levels, the interaction of photons
and electrons with dosimetric materials in the low-energy regime, which is governed by quantum
mechanics.

The objectives of this WP are:

1) to elucidate the characteristics of the interaction of ionizing radiation with the materials used in radiation
dosimetry, at the microscopic level, i.e., the defect structure created upon radiation;

2) to determine possible effects or damage and consequently establish an accurate relationship between the
energy deposited and the response of various dosimetric materials;

3) to evaluate the dose delivered to patients in modern radiotherapy fields, and in low-energy photon beams
used in radiodiagnostic studies.
