ABSTRACT

A 700 keV Van de Graaff accelerator was used to accelerate protons

onto solid targets of different light elements to produce ultrasoft,

characteristic X-rays (< 5 keV). The proton energies were calibrated

using the (p, y) resonances at 633 keV in Aluminium and at 340 and

483 keV in Fluorine.

The X-ray emission characteristics of Aluminium, Carbon, Gold,

Silicon/Carbon, Silicon/Nitrogen and Titanium/Boron were studied as

a function of incident proton energy, angle of inclination of the

target (30° - 60° to the proton beam) and angle of detection of the

X-rays (40° - 130° to the beam). Detection of the X-rays was achieved

using a gas-flow proportional counter directly coupled to a low-noise

pre-amplifier. The resulting spectra, recorded on a multichannel

analyser, were well fitted by linear combinations of single Gaussian

curves to give peak position (X-ray energy), width and area (X-ray

intensity).

Carbon contamination of the target surface was studied in detail

for the Aluminium target. A number of low beam currents onto the

target (10 - 70 nA) were used for total irradiation times of up to

17 hours in order to establish the degree of overall X-ray energy

mixing.

The information gained from the study of both the Carbon

contamination and the X-ray emission characteristics was used to

propose practical optimum conditions for the production of ultrasoft

X-rays by proton bombardment in their application to biological and

biochemical irradiations.

A computer code, capable of following the electron track histories

resulting from ultrasoft X-ray interactions has been used to compare

the details of such energy deposition with the results of mammalian

cell irradiations made at the M. R. C. Radiobiology Unit for a number,

of different ultrasoft X-ray energies. Such a-comparison has been used

to try to identify the mechanisms of radiation action. Included in this

work is the application of the computer code to a variety of. characteris-

tic X-ray photon energies, thus extending the available, calculated data.

CHAPTER 1

INTRODUCTION

In 1938 K. Sax published the results of a study of chromosome

aberrations induced in cells by ionising radiations. These results,

together with further studies (for example : Sax, 1940,1957; Evans,

1962; Revell, 1974; Savage, 1975), showed that ionising radiations were

capable of inducing the exchange of chromosome material and it was

suggested that an aberration arose as a consequence of two radiation

damaged chromosomes undergoing an exchange. Radiations of different

ionisation density or linear energy transfer, L. E. T., (L. E. T. is a

measure of the energy imparted to a medium along the path of a charged

particle [ICRU, 1970]) were observed to have varying degrees of effect

on the irradiated cells (Figure 1.1). Combining this information with

the size of the chromosome structures involved led to the suggestion

that the required distances between pairs of damaged chromosomes for

aberration induction (termed the interaction distances) were of the

order of 0.1 to 1 pm (Lea and Catcheside, 1942; Lea, 1955; Wolff, 1959;

Heddle and Wolff, 1966; Neary, Preston and Savage, 1967). In comparison,

the diameter of cell nuclei is typically of the'order of 10 Pm and the

diameter of a DNA double helix is approximately 2 nm.

During the same time period, developments in experimental physics,

particularly with the introduction in the late 1950s of the low-

pressure (Rossi) proportional counter (Rossi and Rosenzweig, 1955),

enableddirect measurements to be made of the energy deposited by

radiation within a small simulated tissue volume. Such measurements,

and their analyses, became known as microdosimetry - the study of the

properties of radiation in small tissue volumes usually smaller than

the nuclei of mammalian cells.

By using microdosimetric techniques attempts could be made to

measure some physical properties of ionising radiations that corres-

ponded to the properties of radiation resulting in chromosome

aberrations and other biological effects in cells. Such studies

might then elucidate the mechanisms of radiation action, enabling

the radiological risks to human beings to be better understood and

quantified.

As mentioned earlier, L. E. T. is often varied within studies of

radiation mechanisms. The radiations used frequently deposit energy

along tracks which are long in comparison with sub-cellular dimensions,

thus making it difficult to pinpoint the cause of any specific damage.

Radiations which produce tracks of short, defined lengths have been

available, but practical limitations such as their attenuation co-

efficient have limited their use.

However, ultrasoft X-rays of less than ti 5 keV, although having

very large attenuation coefficients and a limited availability, have

been used intermittently since the late 1920s (Goodhead and Thacker,

1977). The interaction of ultrasoft X-rays with matter takes place

almost entirely by photoelectric absorption (Figure 1.2) leading to

the production of photo- and Auger- electrons of low, well defined

energies, capable of producing only very short tracks (< 0.1 pm).

Recent studies on mammalian cells have shown that ultrasoft X-rays are

highly effective in inducing biological damage (Cox et aZ., 1977;

Goodhead et al., 1979,1981a; Virisk et al., 1980; Thacker et al., 1983;

Brenner et al., 1987; Raju et al., 1987) and have been found, in general,

to be more effective per unit dose than hard X-rays and gamma (y) rays.

Although other ionising radiations, such as hard X-rays and y-rays,

produce a large number of low energy electrons (Figure 1.3), the effect

of the low energy electrons cannot be studied in isolation from the

effect of the higher energy electrons (Raju et al., 1987). The effec-

tiveness of ultrasoft X-rays was also observed to increase with

decreasing photon energy.

Numerous models and concepts attempt to explain radiation-induced

biological damage (Goodhead, 1987a, 1987b) and, consequently, studies

involving short track length radiations have become increasingly

appropriate. The observation that small, highly localised energy

depositions are effective in inducing biological damage is not only

important to the understanding of the mechanisms of radiation action

but also sets tight constraints on any proposed model of radiation

action (Goodhead, 1977,1982; Goodhead, Thacker and Cox, 1978; Goodhead

et al., 1981b; Thacker, Goodhead and Wilkinson, 1983).

The full potential of ultrasoft X-rays as a fine probe of the

energy and the spatial requirements of mechanisms of radiation damage

in biological systems can only be realised with a wide, versatile

range of sources. A variety of sources have, and are being used to

produce ultrasoft X-rays including cold-cathode discharge tubes, hot-

filament electron tubes, hard X-ray induced fluorescent characteristic

ultrasoft X-rays from secondary targets, laser induced X-rays and

synchrotron radiation sources (First International Ultrasoft X-Ray"

Workshop, 1987). All these techniques have their advantages and

disadvantages (Goodhead and Bance, 1984).

A further method of producing ultrasoft, characteristic X-rays is

by the use of heavy ion bombardment of solid targets. When a target

is bombarded by a heavy particle (proton, deuteron, alpha particle),

electrons are ejected from the electron shells surrounding the target

nuclei. If an impact removes an electron from an inner shell, the

Page 18: The Production and Use of Proton-Induced Ultrasoft X-rays · 1 The Production and Use of Proton-Induced Ultrasoft X-rays by Elizabeth Anne Jones, B. Sc., A. R. C. S. A thesis submitted

17

subsequent filling of the vacancy by an electron from an outer shell

leads to the emission of X-rays characteristic of the element bombarded.

The production of characteristic X-rays by electron impact is a

familiar phenomenon and gives rise to characteristic peaks super-

imposed on the continuous bremsstrahlung background (Figure 1.4).

The ionisation of an atom by the impact of a heavy particle on the

other hand, and the subsequent emission of an X-ray, has received only

sporadic attention since Chadwick and others first observed and

identified the characteristic X-rays of several elements (ranging from

Aluminium to Uranium) which were bombarded by alpha (a) particles

(Chadwick, 1912,1913; Chadwick and Russell, 1913,1914; Thomson, 1914;

Slater, 1921). A more comprehensive investigation of inner-shell

ionisation in various elements by a-particles was published in 1928

by Bothe and Franz who used a Polonium source for the production of

a-particles. They studied both the K-shell ionisation for targets

of atomic number, Z, greater than 12 and L-shell ionisation for targets

with Z> 34, as well as the M-shell ionisation of Bismuth (Z = 83).

In 1941, Cork used deuterons of energies up to 10 MeV and

examined the blackening of photographic plates by X-rays from 38

chemical elements. Cork found that for K-shell ionisation by deuterons,

the yield of the emitted X-rays maximised in the region of Z= 28 whilst

for L-shell ionisation, the yield maximised at Z= 64. Although Barton

(1930) had unsuccessfully searched for X-rays from a Copper target by

low energy (15-25 keV) proton bombardment, it was Gerthsen and Reusse

(1933) who performed the first successful experiments with protons as

the incident particles. Protons in the energy range 30 - 150 keV were

used and the K-shell radiation emitted from Aluminium and Magnesium as

well as the L-shell radiation from Selenium were. observed. Further

work was carried out by Livingston, Genevese and Konopinski (1937)

using protons up to 1.72 MeV. They measured the intensity of the

emitted X-rays as a function of the atomic number and estimated the

order of magnitude of the cross-section for proton-induced X-ray

production.

Numerous experiments have since been carried out with protons of

energies less than a few MeV. These have been primarily in the field

of particle-induced X-ray emission (P. I. X. E. ) for analytical purposes

(Rutledge and Watson, 1973; Johansson and Johansson, 1976). Protons, as

opposed to a-particles and other heavy ions, have been favoured as the

bombarding particle mainly as a result of the availability of small

proton accelerators in many laboratories. Furthermore protons have

been shown to give the best sensitivity in most practical applications.

There is also a greater problem with target heating and deterioration

when a-particles are used and because of their large energy loss it

is necessary to limit the beam intensity.

Measurements presented by Goodhead and Bance (1984) indicated that

proton bombardment is also a favoured method of producing characteristic

ultrasoft X-rays with greater, and more widely variable, intensities

than are available from sources such as the cold-cathode discharge tube.

The main advantage of proton-induced ultrasoft X-rays, especially when

compared to hot-filament electron-induced sources, may however be con-

sidered to be the relatively low level of background contamination

(which is dominated by secondary electron bremsstrahlung emission).

Goodhead (1987c), for example, has found that for a proton energy of

600 keV, the bremsstrahlung contamination contribution in air, in a

practical irradiation configuration, in the detected photon beam is

less than 0.2% when using a Carbon target and approximately an order

of magnitude less using an Aluminium target. Comparable values for

electron-induced sources are in the region of 1 to 5% (Goodhead and

Bance, 1984; Raju et al., 1987).

To date virtually all proton-induced ultrasoft X-ray radio-

biological information has been obtained with Carbon or Aluminium

targets (First International Ultrasoft X-Ray Workshop, 1987) producing

the corresponding K-shell characteristic X-rays (CK X-rays at 0.28 keV

and A1K X-rays at 1.49 keV). However, the application of ultrasoft

X-rays in radiobiology and radiation chemistry would benefit greatly

from the availability of other X-ray energies thereby producing

different electron energies and varying ratios of photo- and Auger-

electrons.

Using a 700 keV Van de Graaff accelerator at St. Bartholomew's

Hospital Medical College the study reported here set out to investigate

the possibility of using proton bombardment of other solid target

materials and to look in greater detail at the angular distribution

of the emitted photons. The study was limited to the characterisation

of the ultrasoft X-rays and no biological irradiations were undertaken.

From the information gained, certain practical optimum conditions for

the production of proton-induced ultrasoft X-rays for biological and

biochemical irradiations are proposed.

As previously mentioned, radiobiological studies involving ultra-

soft X-rays are important in furthering our understanding of radiation

damage mechanisms. Their effectiveness in producing complete biological

effects, even though their energy deposition is small and highly local-

ised, increases the need for further understanding of the physical

properties of radiation interactions, particularly those which may be

correlated with the biological effect of practical radiations.

The biological features of ionising radiations should be

contained within the details of their track structure. Hence, the

critical characteristics of radiation action may possibly be identi-

fied by using computed Monte-Carlo track structure codes to simulate

Page 22: The Production and Use of Proton-Induced Ultrasoft X-rays · 1 The Production and Use of Proton-Induced Ultrasoft X-rays by Elizabeth Anne Jones, B. Sc., A. R. C. S. A thesis submitted

21

the radiation tracks. By recording all the spatial and energy transfer

information (Paretzke, 1980) these can then be compared with the observed

relative biological effectiveness (R. B. E. ) of the different radiations.

The M. R. C. Radiobiology Unit, Chilton, Didcot possess one of the codes

which is capable of full simulation of electron track histories, inter-

action by interaction. In addition to the experimental work on the

beam line characteristics, the work reported here also applied this

code to a variety of characteristic X-ray energies, thus extending

the available, calculated data.

CHAPTER 2

EXPERIMENTAL APPARATUS

2.1 The Van de Graaff accelerator

The proton beam was produced using a 700 keV Van de Graaff positive

ion accelerator (Model AN700, High Voltage Ltd. ). The Van de Graaff

machine produces high voltages by driving charges along a conveyor belt

into a conducting terminal, and consists of three main parts: the

generator (drive motor, power supply, moving belt, high-voltage electrode),

the accelerator proper (the ion source and the accelerator tube) and the

pressurised tank.

2.1.1 The Generator

A simplified drawing of the AN700 Van de Graaff accelerator is

shown in Figure 2.1. The charging belt transports electrons electro-

statically from the high voltage terminal to ground potential by

revolving around a system of two cylindrical pulleys, the drive pulley

situated at the base of the accelerator at ground potential and a

pulley alternator at the high voltage terminal end. The belt charge

is provided by a fine-mesh, stainless steel screen which is insulated

from the generator base plate and positioned such that the corona points

face the outer surface of the belt at the drive pulley. The drive

pulley, on the inner surface of the belt, is grounded through a Carbon-

brush contact, and the charging screen is maintained at a positive

potential by a power supply located on the generator base. A similar

(collector) screen is connected directly onto the high voltage terminal

plate, with the fine stainless steel mesh trimmed to present a series

of sharp corona points to the positively charged belt. Electrons from

the terminal are attracted to the belt through the collector screen,

electrostatically held by the belt and transported to the base plate

where they are removed by the positive potential at the charging screen,

leaving behind them a positively charged belt.

The high voltage terminal is mounted at the top of the accelerator

column and houses the oscillator which supplies the radio frequency

(r. f. ) power for ionising the source gas. Also situated on the high

voltage terminal plate are the power supply units for providing voltages

to the terminal plate, collector screen and the probe of the ion source

bottle. The high voltage terminal is insulated from the generator base

by a column made up from a number of circular equipotential planes

separated from one another by porcelain insulators. Appropriately

shaped holes in the equipotential planes allow access for the accelerator

tube, the charging belt and the various control rods.

The equipotential planes are electrically connected through series

resistors. These form a voltage divider network and maintain a constant

voltage gradient between the terminal and ground. Each plane is provided

with an Aluminium gradient bar placed such that it faces the upcharge

side of the belt, thus decreasing the possiblity of discharge between the

belt and the plane.

2.1.2 The Accelerator

Hydrogen gas is introduced into the ion source bottle through a

Palladium (Pd) leak assembly. This consists of a Pd thimble surrounded

by a quartz sleeve which serves to insulate the thimble from the spiral

heating element wound closely around it. Power is supplied to the heater

by a5 to 10 Volt transformer secondary winding which warms the Pd, thus

making it porous to Hydrogen and its isotopes. The gas passes through

the Pd and flows through a gas line connected to the thimble into the

ion source.

Page 26: The Production and Use of Proton-Induced Ultrasoft X-rays · 1 The Production and Use of Proton-Induced Ultrasoft X-rays by Elizabeth Anne Jones, B. Sc., A. R. C. S. A thesis submitted

25

Within the ion source bottle the gas is ionised by r. f. energy

with the resulting plasma being magnetically concentrated at the exit

canal of the source bottle. Positive ions are initially expelled

through the exit canal into the acceleration path by a potential

applied to the probe of the source bottle. Further acceleration is

provided by the voltage gradient developed along the column. Focusing

of the beam can be achieved by applying a negative potential to the

focus electrode situated at the ion source end of the accelerator tube.

The accelerator tube is evacuated to 10-6torr (1.33 x 16-4 Pa) and

provides a long mean-free path for the accelerated particles. The tube

is mounted on the generator base and extends up through the column of

equipotential planes to the high voltage terminal. It consists of a

number of ring-shaped insulators cemented between dished Aluminium

electrodes, the number of electrodes in the tube being equal to the

number of equipotential planes in the column, each tube electrode being

electrically connected to a column plane by a spring connector.

2.1.3 The pressurised tank

The generator is housed within a cylindrical tank containing a

high pressure gas mixture in order to prevent the continuous discharge

from the high voltage terminal to ground. As the pressure of a gas

increases the distance between the molecules becomes correspondingly

shorter as does the mean-free path of an ion with the effect that any

gaseous discharge will appear at higher electrical fields and thus

enable stable operation up to a higher voltage limit.

The AN700 Van de Graaff accelerator was operated at gas pressures

> 115 lb. in-2 (7.9 x 105 Pa) with a mixture of Freon (CC12F2).

Carbon dioxide (C02) and Nitrogen (N2). Initially these gases were used

in the proportion 15% Freon, 35% C02 and 50% N2. However, a reduction

Page 27: The Production and Use of Proton-Induced Ultrasoft X-rays · 1 The Production and Use of Proton-Induced Ultrasoft X-rays by Elizabeth Anne Jones, B. Sc., A. R. C. S. A thesis submitted

26

in the percentage of C02 proved to give a more stable mode of operation.

As a result the accelerator was operated in the later stages of the

work with 30% Freon and 70% N2 in the tank, the Freon being introduced

first to bring the evacuated tank up to about 30 lb. in-2 (-2.1 x 105

Pa). Whilst the tank was filled to a total pressure of 115 lb. in-2

(7.9 x 105 Pa) the subsequent warming up of both the Freon and the

Nitrogen meant that the accelerator was invariably operated at gas

pressures of 120 - 130 lb. in-2 (8.2 x 105 - 9.0 x 105 Pa).

2.2 The Beam Line (Figure 2.2)

2.2.1 Accelerator tube extensions

On leaving the accelerator, the proton beam travelled through an

assembly of different tube extensions that provided an evacuated

channel between the accelerator and the scattering chamber. Included

in the tube extension assembly were:

(a) Penning ionisation gauge. The vacuum in the accelerator tube

system was monitored by a Penning ionisation gauge (C. V. C. Products

Inc. ) capable of measuring vacuum pressures in the range 1x 10-6

to 1x 10-3 torr (1.33 x 10-4 - 1.33 x 10-1 Pa). The vacuum pressure,

as measured by the gauge, was monitored on the accelerator control

panel.

(b) Main gate valve. The main gate valve was used to isolate the

accelerator tube from the tube extensions.

(c) The Associated Vacuum System. The accelerator-tube system could

only be operated under a high vacuum (low pressure) to minimise

collisions between the accelerated particles and gas molecules in the

tube. This was achieved using an Edwards Speedivac Oil Vapour Diffusion

Pump (Model 203B). The pump was water cooled, had a pumping capacity

of 250 - 300 m3/hour and contained 60 cm3 of Diffusion Pump Fluid 704

(Dow Corning). A mechanical backing-pump (Edwards E2M2 Double-stage

Rotary Vacuum Pump) was used as a secondary system to remove the exhaust

from the main oil-diffusion pump to the atmosphere. Situated between

the oil-diffusion pump and the proton beam line was a double walled,

liquid-Nitrogen cooled cold trap to serve as a hydrocarbon condenser.

(d) Auxiliary gate valve. This gate valve was used to isolate the

scattering chamber from the tube extensions. Work could therefore be

carried out on the chamber without interrupting the evacuated state

of the accelerator tube.

2.2.2 Collimators

Prior to entering the scattering chamber, the proton beam encoun-

tered an Aluminium (Al) collimator with a 7mm diameter central hole.

Once within the scattering chamber the beam passed through another Al

collimator (1 mm diameter hole). Previous work (Khan and Potter, 1964)

has established that electrons produced by collisions of imperfectly

focused protons on the tube walls pass down the accelerating tube

with the protons. Secondary electrons are also produced at the edge

of the collimating discs so the collimator within the scattering

chamber was held at 300 V positive potential (supplied from a Harwell

2000 Series E. H. T. Unit, Type 2147 - 2) to reduce backstreaming-of the

electrons from the collimator to the accelerator.

2.2.3 The Scattering Chamber

The scattering chamber consisted of a 43 cm diameter, 23 cm wide

cylinder, orientated with the cylinder axis horizontal, with both circular

ends forming removable, vertical lids. The target and detection systems

entered the chamber through opposite lids through '0' ring seals and

the required electrical connections were made using B. N. C. pressurised

bulkhead adaptors (including one high voltage version)-and insulated

glass-metal seal 'feed-throughs' on the chamber walls. Separate pumping

systems were used for the scattering chamber and the accelerator, the

30

scattering chamber being evacuated with an Edwards Speedivac Oil Vapour

Diffusion Pump (Model F203) with a Welch Duo-Seal (Sargent-Welch

Scientific Company) backing pump. A double walled, liquid-Nitrogen

cooled cold trap was mounted onto the scattering chamber. The vacuum

pressure in the chamber was monitored by an Edwards Penning Gauge Head

(Model 6) positioned on the cylinder wall, and was generally at

' 10-5 torr (1.33 x 10-3 Pa) at the start of an experiment.

2.3 The Target System (Figure 2.3)

Thick (6 mm) solid targets of Aluminium (Al), Carbon (C), Gold (Au),

Silicon/Carbon (SiC), Silicon/Nitrogen (Si/N) and Titanium/Boron

(TiB2). were clamped onto an insulated, semi-cylindrical brass holder

which entered the scattering chamber through one of the removable lids

(Section 2.2.3). The TiB2 (Borax Consolidated) SiC and Si/N

(Morganite Special Carbons Ltd. ) targets were hot compressed, the

Si/N target believed to be predominantly Si3N4 (ti 90%) and the remainder

consisting of an unknown ratio of Si to N atoms. The target holder

could accommodate all six targets together, each target being suffi-

ciently wide (> 1 cm) to allow the proton beam to strike at least

two positions. Movement from one target position to another was

possible without breaking the vacuum in the scattering chamber as was

varying the target orientation with respect to the beam. This latter

facility permitted a complete 360° rotation about the target holder's

axis although in practice, the need for electrical connections res-

tricted it to < 180°. The angle which the target made to the beam

could be monitored from outside the scattering chamber.

The target holder was surrounded by an electron suppressor shield

which was insulated from the target holder and the scattering chamber.

Using a similar design to that used by Sterk, Marks and Saylor (1967),

the target was biased at +90 V relative to the electron shield using

a power supply operated with its output floating (but referenced to the

shield). This was found to be sufficient to prevent secondary electrons

from escaping (Figure 2.4) thereby causing a false indication of beam

current - an effect which was observed to be target-angle dependent

(Figure 2.5).

The current onto the target was monitored using a charge integrator

(Figure 2.2) constructed in the Physics Department of St. Bartholomew's

Hospital Medical College. The current onto the target was transferred,

through a coaxial cable, to the integrator where a2 NF capacitor was

charged. The voltage across the capacitor was measured and monitored

on a 25 V full scale deflection (f. s. d. ) meter, thus giving a charge

measurement of 50 pC f. s. d. The integrator had a number of different

capacitors (1 nF to 2 pF) in its circuitry such that a suitable value

could be chosen for the particular current being measured.

2.4 The Detection System

2.4.1 The Proportional Counter (Figure-2.6)

The emitted X-rays were detected using a gas-flow proportional

counter (Model 04, J. E. Manson Co., Inc. ) directly coupled to a low

noise pre-amplifier (Manson Model PAL-01). The counter had a Nickel

plated brass body with cylindrical internal symmetry of 1.95 cm diameter

and length 7.3 cm. The 3 mm x 10 mm slotted window consisted of a VYNS

(a copolymer of 90% Vinyl chloride and 10% Vinyl acetate: C22H2302C19)

window of 28pg. cm 2 nominal thickness ('11 0.1 Nm) on a 60% open 400

lines per inch (ti 160 lines per cm) Nickel mesh. The transmission

characteristics of the window at low photon energies (Manson literature)

are shown in Figure 2.7. The X-rays transmitted through the window

were absorbed in the cylindrical cavity (maximum diametric gas path

length of 2.05 cm) by P10 (90% Argon and 10% Methane) gas at a flow

rate of 12.5 cm3. min-l. A bias voltage of +1700 V was used on the

central 50 um diameter stainless steel anode for all the X-rays except

Titanium K-shell (TiK) X-rays, for which, because of their higher energy

(4.5 keV), a bias voltage of +1600 V was used to produce less amplifi-

cation. The collecting area was defined by a1 mm diameter hole in a

Cadmium disc placed in front of the counter window. This also reduced

the X-ray intensity and hence the counting rate, avoiding pile-up.

Directly above the counter window was placed 6 pm of Polypropylene

(CH2 = CHCH3) which, when combined with the counter window, was found

to be sufficient to prevent backscattered protons entering the counter.

The thickness of Polypropylene used was determined experimentally by

observing the X-ray emission spectra from a Carbon target, when

bombarded with 500keV protons, for varying thicknesses of 'filter'

above the detector window. The optimum condition was taken to be the

point at which additional layers of filter served only to attenuate

the X-rays being produced with no effect on the background (Figure 2.8).

An alternative, magnetic method was used in the earlier stages of the

work (Figure 2.9). Using the expression for the magnetic field, B,

required to deflect charged particles of rest energy Wo and kinetic

energy T, through an arc of a circle with radius r (Rosenblatt, 19'68):

where T and ö are in MeV, it was possible to estimate the field

strength required to deflect any scattered protons away from the

window. A simplified drawing is shown in Figure 2.10 (A). With the

magnet pole pieces 7 mm apart (Figure 2.9 (A)) and the steel shielding

(present to prevent the magnetic field affecting the operation of the

pre-amplifier) having a3 mm aperture, the maximum value of 'x' was

0.7 m. When used in Equation 2.1 for 500 keV protons this then gave

a required magnetic field of 0.15 T.

Since the magnetic field used was 0.3 T, it should have been more

than sufficient to deflect even the most energetic backscattered protons.

This was not, however, found to be the case. The presence of the magnet

between the target and the detector proved to be largely ineffective in

reducing the amount of backscattered projectiles entering the counter.

There are three possible-reasons for this:

(i) It is possible that the protons reached the magnet pole pieces at

an angle other than parallel to the axis, and that therefore some protons

which were originally well off-course from the 3 mm aperture were curved

back to it.

(ii) In the preceding calculation it was assumed that the proton was

subjected to the field B throughout the distance y. In practice how-

ever, the field only extends for the 7 mm within the pole pieces, after

which the proton will continue on a tangential path to the curve it was

following. As a result the field required would be higher if the same

eventual deflection was to be achieved (Figure 2.11).

(iii) Buck, Wheatley and Feldman (1973) showed that for proton energies

ti 100 keV, a large fraction of the backscattered projectiles were

neutralised. Consequently any attempt to remove the recoil particles

from the X-ray flux by electrostatic (or magnetic) deflection techniques

would be expected to be only partially successful.

It was therefore concluded that an absorbing filter was necessary to

prevent back-scattered protons and Hydrogen atoms from entering the

proportional counter.

The bias voltage to the counter anode was provided using a

Harwell 2000 Series E. H. T. Unit, Type 2147-2 with a variable output

from 0 to 3 kV. The Manson PAL-O1 pre-amplifier required a+ 15 V and

a- 15 V input which was obtained from a Harwell 2000 Power Supply

Unit, Type 2015-4.

The input stage of the pre-amplifier was a junction field-effect

transistor followed by quasi-Gaussian double differentiating and

integrating filters with time constants of 0.75 ps. The output pulse

was bipolar with the positive lobe leading. The output from the pre-

amplifier was fed into the input of a Norland IT-5300 Multichannel

Analyser (MCA) (Norland Instruments/Ino-Tech. Inc. ). Using the pulse

height analysis mode of the MCA the energy distribution of the output

from the pre-amplifier was obtained and recorded onto the GOULD PN6000

mini-computer.

CHAPTER 3

CALIBRATION OF THE VAN DE GRAAFF MACHINE

The potential at the high-voltage terminal of the Van de Graaff

accelerator was monitored using an in-built generating voltmeter. The

voltmeter assembly consisted of a motor-driven rotor, with four equally

spaced, 45° sectors cut out of it and a stator plate divided into

eight insulated 45° sectors. As the rotor rotates, it alternately

exposes the high voltage terminal to the stator and shields from it

each sector. Triangular wave alternating current (a. c. ) voltages are

thus electrostatically induced between adjacent sectors of the stator,

the voltages being directly proportional to the terminal voltage.

Four alternate stator sectors of the voltmeter are connected in parallel

to the a. c. terminal of a bridge-rectifier circuit, located on the

voltmeter housing, which is connected to the generator voltage meter

on the control console of the accelerator.

The generating voltmeter was calibrated using the (p, y) resonances

method (Hunt and Jones, 1953). A low-energy proton may be captured by

a nucleus which is thereby transformed into a residual nucleus in a

highly excited state (Figure 3.1). Instead of expelling the incident

particle again (scattering), the residual nucleus may decay to the

ground state and rid itself of the binding energy of the particle by

the emission of one or more gamma (y) rays. The capture of a proton

depends upon the energy being of the correct amount needed to enable

the residual nucleus to be formed in one of its excited states, and is

thus resonant in nature.

For the calibration of the Van de Graaff accelerator, resonant

proton energies were looked for in Fluorine and Aluminium. Strong

resonances have been observed at 340.4 keV and 483.1 keV in Fluorine

(Hornyak et at., 1950) and at 633 keV in Aluminium (Meyer, Venter and

Reitmann, 1975). For these cases the expected reactions are as given

below, with the available excitation energy, E. being calculated from:

EM (AX) +M (p) +T (p) _M (A+1 Y) 3.1

where M, the rest mass, was obtained from the Table of Isotopes, 1978,

and T (p) was the kinetic energy of the proton.

For Fluorine, the resonance reaction is given by

19F (P, Y) 20Ne 3.2

with M (19F) = 17697.032 MeV, M (20Ne) = 18622.977 MeV and M (p) =

938.280 MeV. Thus for a proton of energy T (p) = 340.4 keV, the

excitation energy was calculated to be 12.675 MeV, and for T (p) =

483.1 keV, E= 12.818 MeV. For Aluminium, the reaction is given by

27A1 (p, Y) 28Si 3.3

with M (27 Al) = 25133.333 MeV and M (28Si) = 26060.537 MeV giving an

excitation energy of 11.709 MeV for a 633 keV proton.

For both Fluorine and Aluminium the calculated excitation energies

are such that the energy levels of the residual nucleus are very close

together. For example, for the 20Ne nucleus there are over 125 energy

levels in the region of E= 11 to 23.5 MeV. As a result, an increase

of only 0.14 MeV in the energy of the protons interacting with the

Fluorine nuclei is sufficient to give rise to a second resonance

position.

The emission of y -rays'from thick (2,6 mm) targets of Aluminium

and Fluorine (in the form of a Calcium fluoride, CaF2 target) was

studied using a 3" diameter x 3" length (75 mm x 75 mm) cylindrical

Thallium activated Sodium iodide (NaI(Tl)) crystal detector in

conjunction with a Norland IT-5300 MCA. As is shown in Figure 3.2 the

target was positioned at 45° to the proton beam with the detector at

900. In order to eliminate most of the background counts the NaI(Tl)

detector was encased in 5 cm Lead shielding. The accelerator

terminal voltage was varied in 10 kV increments around the expected

resonance positions (340.4 ± 0.5 and 483.1 ± 0.5 keV for19F, 633 ±1

keV for 27A1). The energy spectrum from the NaI(Tl) detector was

collected and, using the integrating facility on the MCA, the number

of emitted Y-ray counts measured (Figure 3.3) as a function of the

accelerating voltage. As shown in Figure 3.3, for the Fluorine

resonances it was possible to integrate a specific Y-ray peak which,

using the two 1-rays from a60Co source for calibration, was found at a

photon energy E1 ti 7 MeV. However, for the Aluminium target, no such

peak was observed - the 1-ray energy believed to be > 10 MeV (High

Voltage Ltd. literature) thus extending beyond the range of the 1024

channels of the MCA. However, for a 75 mm x 75 mm cylindrical NaI(Tl)

crystal a large proportion of the photon interactions would be

expected to be of the Compton effect kind, where only a portion of the

energy of the photon is deposited in the crystal thus giving rise to a

range of reduced height pulses which would appear on the MCA scale.

The resonance position for the Al target was therefore deduced by

integrating the total energy spectrum above channel 100 (thus eliminating

most of the low energy, accelerator voltage independent noise).

Having normalised all the measurements to the proton beam current,

thick target y-ray yield curves were obtained (Figures 3.4 and 3.5).

The resonance positions were identified at the point of maximum gradient

of the thick target yield curves versus accelerating voltage (Khan and

Potter, 1964):

In order to calibrate the proton beam energy against the accelerating

voltage, as monitored by the generating voltmeter, the observed

resonance positions were compared with the known resonance energies as

given by Hornyak et al., 1950 and Meyer, Venter and Reitmann, 1975.

This information was then used to produce a calibration graph for the

actual proton beam energy in terms of the generating voltmeter reading

(Figure 3.6). The vertical error bars were smaller in magnitude than

the size of the plotted points.

From the three resonance positions observed it was seen that the

terminal voltage as measured by the generating voltmeter was within

t5 kV of the proton beam energy, thus lying within the experimental

accuracy of t 10 kV under which the major part of this work was

undertaken (Chapter 5).

CHAPTER 4

DATA ANALYSIS

After recording the energy distribution spectra of the emitted

ultrasoft X-rays on the GOULD mini-computer, the data were transferred

to the Amdahl 470 V/8 computer at the University of London Computer

Centre (U. L. C. C. ). Using the Amdahl, multiparameter least-squares

curve fitting was attempted using the CERN Program Library Routine

called "MINUIT" (James and Roos, 1975,1985).

A large class of problems in many different fields can be reduced

to the problem of finding the smallest value taken by a function of

one or more variable parameters by minimising the difference (chi-

square* X2) between the theory and the experimental data. This

difference is represented by the function F (X n) where n are the

unknown parameters. The function F (X n) need not be known analytically,

but may be specified by giving its value at any point X in the space of

the parameters.

MINUIT is a package of programmes that minimises a function of n

variables, computes the covarience matrix and finds the true errors

(James, 1978). This system of programmes incorporates three different

minimisation methods,: 'each of which may be used individually, or in

combination with the others, depending on the behaviour of the function

and the requirements of the user. The three minimisation subroutines

available are: -

(i) 'SEEK' -a Monte-Carlo searching subroutine.

(ii) 'SIMPLX' -a subroutine employing the simplex method of

Neider and Mead (1965).

(iii) 'MIGRAD' -a minimisation subroutine based on a variable

metric method (Fletcher, 1970).

Page 57: The Production and Use of Proton-Induced Ultrasoft X-rays · 1 The Production and Use of Proton-Induced Ultrasoft X-rays by Elizabeth Anne Jones, B. Sc., A. R. C. S. A thesis submitted

56

MINUIT is generally used to minimise a X2 function or a negative log

likelihood function. It is assumed that the point where the function F (X)

takes on its lowest value, FMIN, determines the most likely or best-fit

parameter values, and that the region over which the function takes on

values smaller than (FMIN + UP) corresponds to a confidence interval for

which the confidence level is determined by the value of the positive

constant UP. For example, if F (Xn) is a X2 function of one variable

parameter (n = 1), a value of UP = 1.0 determines 'one-standard-deviation'

errors corresponding to a confidence level of 68%.

For the analysis of the X-ray energy spectra, only the subroutine

SIMPLX was used. This is a relatively fast method even when far from the

minimum but will also converge to the exact minimum. It does not compute

the covarictnce matrix but gives order-of-magnitude estimates of its dia-

gonal elements - the parameter errors (James, 1972).

4.1 Subroutine SIMPLX

In the minimisation method of Neider and Mead (1965) the information

about the function F (X1, ----, n) consists of its values at n+1 points,

forming a simplex. A simplex is the smallest n- dimensional geometrical

figure with n+1 vertices :a triangle for n=2, a tetrahedron for

n=3, etc. How the method works can be shown by considering a two dimen-

sional case as in Figure 4.1.

The three starting simplex points (P1, P2 and P3) are supplied by the

user and the function F (X n)

is evaluated at each point. Let the point

PH be that at which the function value is highest (worst) and PL that at

which it is lowest. Let P be the centre-of-mass of all points in the

simplex except PH , that is

n i=n+1 {E pz , pH } 4.1

58

From the original simplex, a new simplex is formed by' replacing Pff with

a better point if possible. The first attempt to find a better point

is made by reflecting PH with respect to P, producing P* =P+ (P - PH).

If F (P*) <F (PL), a new point is tried at P** =P+2 (P - PH), but

if F (P*) >F (PH) then a new point is tried at P** =P-2 (P - PH).

The best of the new points then replaces PH in the simplex for the

next step, unless neither of them is better than PH in which case a

whole new simplex is formed around PL, with dimensions reduced by a

factor of 0.5.

A convenient convergence criterion for the simplex method is

based on the difference F (PH) -F (PL). The iterations are stopped

when this difference is less than a pre-set value. As a final step,

the function is evaluated at P, which is often slightly better than F (PL

MINUIT is designed to handle any function, F (X n

), and hence the

definition of the function to be minimised must be supplied separately.

This is done through the subroutine "FCN" in which F (n) is calculated

and which is therefore supplied by the user.

4.2 Subroutine FCN (Appendix 1)

The energy distributions of the characteristic X-rays, as detected

by the proportional counter, were found to be well fitted by a linear

combination of Gaussian curves super-imposed on a constant background -

one Gaussian curve describing the energy distribution for each target

characteristic X-ray energy.

If the area under a Gaussian curve is 'A. ' then the distribution

function is defined as:

(Bevington, 1969)

where x is the value of a random observation,

u is the mean value of the parent distribution

and a is the standard deviation of the distribution.

The standard deviation, a, can be defined in terms of the full-width at

half-maximum (F. W. H. M. ), r, of the curve (Bevington, 1969):

r=2.354 a 4.3

and substituting this into Equation 4.2 gives

PG (x, , r, A) =

0. ý4. A . exp {-2.77 (x T u)2 } 4.4

The subroutine FCN was written to include a possible three

Gaussian distributions with separate u, r and A combined with a

constant background, C. Thus the complete distribution, 1theor

as described in FCN is given by:

Y theor = 0.94. A1

where the variable parameters were c, AZ, u2 and r2 (i = 1,2,3)

with x, the MCA channel number, being directly proportional to the

photon energy.

Having calculated the theoretical spectrum obtained above

('theor)' FCN proceeded to calculate the X2 using the definition of

James (1972):

2K Yk - Tk(X) 2 X (X) =Ei6)4.6

k=1 k

where yk and Qk are measured values and errors, and Tk (X) are the

values predicted by the model, depending on some parameter(s), X.

Equation 4.6 became:

where NPTS represented the number of channels considered on the

MCA and yobs fix) was the observed X-ray energy spectrum as collected

on the MCA. The error in the observed values was taken to be given by

i the square root of the value, (yobs (x))2.

The function F (X n)

required by MINUIT for minimisation was

defined in the subroutine FCN to be the X2 as given in Equation 4.7 with

ytheor (x) being defined by Equation 4.5. Before starting the iterative

process of minimising F (n), MINUIT requires an initial estimate of the

parameter values (c, Ai, u2 and r2, i=1,2,3) to facilitate the loca-

tion of the minimum. The choice of initial parameter values were based

on estimates taken from the MCA as the spectra were collected.

Once MINUIT had located the minimum value of the function Fý( n

and hence had calculated the best fitted curve to the experimental data,

the calculated values for each parameter were returned to the user. Of

particular interest were the mean energy of the photon - given by the

mean value (u) of the distribution, the width (r) of the distribution

and the intensity (A) produced for a given proton charge onto the

target.

CHAPTER 5

EXPERIMENTAL SECTION

5.1 Experimental Procedures .

The characterisation of proton-induced ultrasoft X-rays in this

study comprised three. experimental investigations:

(i) a study of target surface contamination and the way it

effects the intensity of emitted X-rays,

(ii) the angular distribution of the X-rays resulting

from target absorption and attenuation effects, and

(iii) the dependence of X-ray yield on proton energy.

5.1.1 Surface contamination study

With the target and proportional counter at 45° and 90° to the

beam respectively, the proton beam was run continuously onto a target

with an X-ray energy distribution spectrum being recorded for each

25 pC increment of charge collected on the target as measured by the

charge integrator. This was done for both the Aluminium and Carbon

targets, with the proton beam energy being kept constant at 500 t 10 keV

and the current kept, at 35 t1 nA. Each spectrum took - 12 min to

collect and the beam was run onto the target for a total time of 8 hours

in the case of Carbon and 17 hours for Aluminium. In the latter case

there was an interval of about 12 hours after the first 9 hours, during

which the beam was off.

For the Aluminium target, the dependence of the rate of contami-

nation build-up on beam current was also considered. Keeping the proton

beam energy at 500 ± 10 keV, spectra were collected for beam currents of

10,40 and 70 nA. Spectra were also recorded for a beam current of

50 nA but with a reduced proton energy of 300 ± 10 keV. All the spectra

were collected for a constant charge of 25 pC on the target.

5.1.2 Angular distribution study

To study the angular distribution of the emitted X-rays the proton

beam was run onto the target for a total collected charge of 25 pC

(taking approximately 500s). The proton beam energy was kept at

500 t 10 keV with a beam current of - 50 nA. For each target angle (6)

X-ray spectra were recorded over a full range of detector angles

(40° a5 130°), in 10° steps. Four complete sets of data were

taken for each target element, with 0= 30°, 45° and 60°, and the data

combined to give average yields. A clean target surface was used for

each complete set, cleaning being achieved using a combination of

abrasion with fine emery cloth, then soaking the target in one molar

solution of Hydrochloric acid and finally immersing it in an ultra-

sound bath for about three hours.

The starting angle with which a given set of data was taken was

varied between experiments in order to eliminate any possible effect

of the order in which data were collected. In addition to the full

scan of detector angles for each target angle, data were also obtained

for a= 900 at the start and end of each target angle scan so as to

provide information on any surface contamination build-up (Section 6.1).

5.1.3 Proton energy dependence of X-ray emission

Using the Aluminium and Carbon targets, the effect of varying the

proton beam energy on the yield of X-rays was studied. With the target

and detector at 45° and 90° to the beam respectively, spectra were

collected for 25 pC of collected charge on the target. The proton

beam energy was varied between 225 t 10 keV and 700 t 10 keV, the beam

current being maintained at 35 ±1 nA throughout.

5.2 Results

Within the text of this, and following chapters, reference is made

to the characteristic X-ray energies. The values given are taken from

the X-Ray Data Booklet (1986) and, where the energies of the lines differ,

the energy of the K line is used. However, the compilation of Storm and a1

Israel (1970) show that the weighted average of the K-shell X-ray energies

varies less than 1% from the energy of the K line, even for the highest al

atomic number element considered for this work (Titanium, Z= 22). The

characteristic X-rays are denoted as 'As' where A represents the chemical

symbol of the target element and s denotes the electron shell (K, L, M).

For example, AlK represents the K-shell characteristic X-ray of Aluminium.

The characteristic energies studied in this work are given in Table 5.1

(with the Aur1 X-ray energy taken from 'Table of X-ray Emission Energies').

Having collected the X-ray energy distribution spectra on the

MCA the data were recorded on computer and transferred to the Amdahl

470V/8 computer at U. L. C. C. where MINUIT (Chapter 4) was used to fit

Gaussian curves to the data. The output from MINUIT came in the form of

a plotted spectrum with both experimental data and theoretical fit shown.

Also given were the theoretical positions, F. W. H. M. and area under the

peaks (with an estimate of the uncertainties), the background level and

the average value of X2 (Equation 4.7) per channel. This latter value

gave a measure of the goodness of the theoretical fit and was found to be

2 per channel in all cases. The error on each of the variable para-

meters was less than 1%.

Shown in Figure 5.1 ((i) - (vii)) are examples of the spectra

obtained (both experimental and theoretical) for each target. Figure 5.1

((i) - (vi)) were obtained with 1700V on the proportional counter anode

(Section 2.4.1) whereas Figure 5.1 (vii) was obtained with an anode

voltage of 1600V. Also shown is the variation between different

qualities of Aluminium (Figure 5.1 (iii) A and B), where the 'pure'

Aluminium spectrum gives a far better fit between theory and experi-

mental data in the region of channels 200 - 400 than the 'Dural'

Aluminium alloy. Over these 200 channels the average X2 value for the

Dural spectrum is 10 per channel compared with a X2 of 2 per channel for

the pure Aluminium spectrum. Dural Aluminium comprises 95% Al, 4% Cu

and 1% Mg (Goodfellow Metals Ltd. ) with both impurities having

characteristic X-rays slightly lower in energy than the A1K X-ray at

1.487 keV (MgK X-ray at 1.254 keV and CUL X-ray at 0.93 keV). It is

probable that the X-rays from the impurities in the Dural are therefore

responsible for the increased X2 in the region below the A1K X-ray peak.

The values obtained from MINUIT for the peak position and F. W. H. M.

for each target are summarised in Table 5.2. Whilst the error on each

individual parameter as given by MINUIT is -1%, the errors shown in

Table 5.2 are the standard deviation (s. d. ) of the averaged parameter

values taken over all the collected spectra for each target (about 140

in total). The deviations from the average values arose primarily as

a result of slight fluctuations in the gain of the proportional counter,

particularly when spectra were taken on different days with possible

small deviations around the optimal anode voltage of 1700V. The widths

of the peaks, as given in Table 5.2, compare favourably with the speci-

fied performance of the proportional counter (Manson literature).

For example, the F. W. H. M. is expected to be 115% of the peak energy

for the BK peak and 36% of the peak energy for a MgK peak (1.254 keV).

There is also agreement between the width of the Aluminium peak as

given in Table 5.2 with that measured for a similar proportional counter

by Hoshi et at. (1985) where the F. W. H. M. of the AlK peak was about 30%

of the peak energy. Hoshi et at. (1985) showed that the spectral resolu-

tion of the proportional counter is limited almost entirely by the

statistics of the small numbers of ionisations within the counter.

For the spectra taken with an anode voltage of 1700V it can be

seen that a low energy peak (at about channel 90) was present in all

cases. This has been shown (Section 5.2.1) to be the result of Carbon

contamination of the target surface, resulting in CK X-rays being

emitted along with the characteristic X-rays of the target. The AlK,

SiK and Aum X-rays were well resolved from the contaminating C. X-rays

but this was not the case for the; Boron- and Nitrogen-containing

targets.

For the TiB2 target, with a 1700V detector anode voltage, the

low energy X-ray peak was observed at a lower position than in any of

the other examples at 1700V (channel 75 t7 as opposed to channel

90 t 5). Since the BK X-ray energy is 183 eV and the CK X-ray energy

is 278 eV it was concluded that the peak observed from the TO2

target was a combination of Boron from the target and Carbon from the

surface contamination. This conclusion is supported by the increased

width of the combined peak (90 ±4 channels rather than 81 ±2 channels).

Since the rate of Carbon build-up was found to be constant for a given

current in the surface contamination study (Figure 5.8) an estimation

of the BK X-ray yield could be found by subtracting the CK X-ray yield

from the Aluminium target data (assuming that the Carbon contamination

rate does not depend on target material) from the combined BK and CK

X-ray peak of the TiB2 target (Figure 5.2).

Whilst a similar effect might have been expected for the Si/N

target (with a low energy peak slightly higher in position than channel

90, consisting of a combination of CK and NK ( 392 eV) X-rays), this was

not found to be the case. As is shown in Table 5.2 there was no observ-

able difference between the low energy peaks of the Si/N target and

the SiC, Al or Au targets. Since there was no reason to suspect that

the NK X-rays were not being produced from the target it was concluded

that the lack of observable NK X-rays was the result of their increased

attenuation in the Polypropylene filter (Section 2.4.1) since there was

no significant difference in the attenuation of CK and NK X-rays in the

VYNS window (Figure 2.7). Using the mass-attenuation coefficients of

Hubbell (1977), the transmission characteristics of 6 pm of Polypropylene

were calculated (Figure 5.3). It is seen that whilst Polypropylene will

transmit 35% of the CK X-rays, less than 1% of the NK X-rays will be

transmitted. It is not surprising therefore that the NK X-rays were

not seen by the proportional counter.

With an anode voltage of 1600V the TiK X-rays from the TiB2

target were observed (Figure 5.1 (vii)). In this case the BK X-rays

from the target and the contaminant CK X-rays appeared as a narrow peak,

high in counts, at the low energy edge of the spectrum. Whilst the

overall MINUIT fit gives X2 = 1.7 per channel, there is a region

(channels 100 - 300) where the theoretical curve underestimates the

experimental data. This may be a result of the lower energy peak being

calculated to be narrower than it actually is, or a result of small

amounts of other X-ray energies being present, such as the L-shell

Titanium X-rays (- 0.5 keV).

All the spectra shown in Figure 5.1 ((1) - (vii)) have a constant

background level ('c' of Equation 4.5) calculated to be 10. The main

contribution to this background arose from electronic noise within the

detection system itself - collecting a spectrum for 500s with no proton

beam but with an anode voltage of 1700V on the detector gave an average

of 8t3 counts per channel over the 1024 channels of the MCA.

From the data summarised in Table 5.2 (columns 3,6) it was possible

to draw an energy calibration graph for the proportional counter and

MCA (Figure 5.4). All the data (at 1700V counter anode voltage) were

found to lie on a straight line (with a linear correlation coefficient,

r=1.0), including the deduced BK X-ray position.

Using the values obtained from MINUIT for the areas under the

Gaussian peaks to represent the number of X-rays detected by the

proportional counter, an estimate of the absolute yields of X-rays could

be derived. The number of X-rays produced per steradian per proton onto

the target, NX, was calculated using (modified from Hoshi et at., 1985):

The number of X-rays detected per pC of charge on the target, CX was

obtained from the area under the photon peak as calculated by MINUIT,

correcting for surface contamination effects (Section 5.2.1). The

solid angle, Q, subtended by the area of the pinhole aperture was

given by irrt 5.2 R2

where r, the pinhole radius, = 0.5 mm and R, the target-to-pinhole

distance, = 15 cm. T represents the proportion of the emitted photons

transmitted through the counter window and the Polypropylene filter at

the different X-ray energies and was calculated from the product of the

window (Manson literature) and the filter (Hubbell, 1977) transmission

coefficients, the low energy region of which are shown in Figures 2.7

and 5.3 respectively. The detection efficiency, c, of the counter was

calculated from X-ray absorption coefficients (p/p) for P10 gas (Handbook

of Chemistry and Physics, 1987-88) using a gas density, p, of 1.677 x

10-3g. cm -3 and the maximum gas path length, x=2.05 cm (Section 2.4.1).

A combined pressure and temperature correction of 1.09 was applied to

account for ambient pressure (9.87 x 104 Pa) and temperature (18°C), thus

giving u1 e= 1- exp-l ppx1.09

5.3

The dead time, T, was kept at < 3% of the counting time throughout.

In order to compare the calculated yields with those available in

the literature, the number of X-rays detected at 900 to the beam when

the target was at 45° to the beam was considered. Using Equation 5.1,

the number of X-rays produced was calculated for each target element

(Table 5.3).

However these calculations represent only the number of X-rays

in the direction of the counter for one particular target angle since

no corrections are included for target self-absorption effects. The

absolute X-ray yield per proton would require integration over the

complete sphere taking into account the variation in absorption length

within the target at all angles. However an estimate may be obtained

by assuming a constant yield at each angle such that the total X-ray

yield is given by 4iNX, which may then be compared with the yields

given in the literature (Table 5.4). For the cases where direct com-

parison can be drawn (that is, where the proton energies are the same)

it is seen that the yields calculated in this study are approximately

a factor of two less than the documented values, but there is insuf-

ficient information on these calculations to enable the identification

of a possible systematic reason for this.

In calculating NX (Equation 5.1) the anode wire of the proportional

counter was assumed to be infinitely thin. In practice the 50 um dia-

meter central wire would be expected to reduce the detector efficiency.

However, as this effect is more noticeable for small pinholes it was

assumed to be negligible for the 1 mm diameter pinhole used in this

(study (Hoshi et at., 1985 for example, calculated that the required

correction when detecting AlK X-rays was 0.89 for a 30 pm pinhole and

0.92 for a 200 pm pinhole).

In the following sections (5.2.1 - 5.2.3 and Chapter 6) reference

is frequently made to the 'intensity' of the X-rays. Whilst intensity is

normally used to define the rate of energy transfer per unit area normal

to the direction of propagation, in the context of this work it is used

to describe the integrated number of counts under the peak.

5.2.1 Surface contamination study

It has already been shown (Figure 5.1) that continuous bombardment

of a target by a proton beam results in the production of not only the

target's characteristic X-rays but also a low energy photon similar in

energy to the CK X-ray. This was assumed to be caused primarily by

a deposition of Carbon containing contaminant on the target surface due

to the decomposition of organic vapours from the diffusion pump oil

(Khan, Potter and Worley, 1965). However, work performed by Gaines

(1981) has shown that hydrocarbon build-up occurs on target surfaces

even at the very low pressures (< 10-6 Pa) achieved by turbo-molecular

pumps, thereby suggesting that all the contamination may not have been

due to the deposition of the pump oil vapours.

Since the X-ray line observed from the contaminant was indis-

tinguishable in energy from CK X-rays, it would indicate that the surface

contamination is Carbon being deposited on the target's surface. This

assumption was borne out by the observed effect of continuous proton

bombardment onto the Aluminium and Carbon targets. In the case of the

Carbon target, the intensity of the CK X-rays remained constant (t 1%)

throughout 8 hours of bombardment at 35 nA (t 1 nA) beam current

(Figure 5.5). However, the AlK X-rays showed a reduction in intensity

with time (Figure 5.6) accompanied by a simultaneous increase in the

intensity of the low energy X-ray.

The observed effect of continuous proton bombardment on the Alumi-

nium and Carbon targets can be explained if the contaminant was indeed

Carbon. A reduction in the intensity of AlK X-rays would then be expected

as a result of absorption in the Carbon layer. However, no effect would

be expected for the Carbon target since any surface deposition would

only serve to increase the target thickness somewhat - the absorption of

the CK X-rays in the contamination layer would be equivalent to the

self-absorption in the target itself.

The decrease in the A1. K X-ray intensity was found to be exponential

with time, having a characteristic exponent of = 37 hrs-1 at a beam

current of 35 nA. The ratio of the intensity of A1K X-rays to that of

the surface CK X-rays was found to fall from 15 to 0.3 over a total

proton bombardment time of 17 hours (Figure 5.7).

The effect of varying the proton current on the rate of Carbon

build-up was also studied. In Figure 5.8 the intantty of the CK X-rays

emitted from an initially 'clean' Aluminium target (Section 5.1.2) is

presented as a function of the collected charge on the target at

varying currents. It is clear that the gradients for the three 500 keV

proton beam currents (10,40 and 70 nA) are different, implying that

the surface deposition was current related. It would also appear that

the highest beam currents produced the lowest rate of Carbon build-up

and that varying the proton energy had very little effect on the rate

of Carbon build-up (Figure 5.9). It is difficult to extrapolate this

effect to large currents to find conditions under which Carbon contami-

nation is reduced to an acceptable level. Clearly however, there is

always the possibility that Carbon build-up takes place even at

currents of the order of mA.

Having established that Carbon was deposited on the target surface

it was possible to correct for the absorption of the target X-rays in

the contaminant layer (Section 6.1). The intensities referred to in

the following sections have been corrected for absorption in the

Carbon layer.

5.2.2 Angular distribution study

For each target, four sets of data were taken - each set

consisting of a full detector angle scan (40° .5aä 130°) at target

angles, 9, of 30°, 45° and 60°. In the latter case (0 = 60°), the

detector angle was limited to aä 110° since at a= 120° the detector

was in line with the target edge resulting in an intesity reduction owing

to the restricted view of the target by the detector. After compensa-

ting for absorption in the surface Carbon layer the four sets of data

were combined to give average values (t s. d. ) of the X-ray intensity at

each target/detector angle combination. In order to compare the angular

distribution of intensities with theoretical expectations (Section 6.2)

the intensities were normalised to the intensity at e= 300, a= 60° -

this being the maximum theoretical intensity.

The resulting distributions are shown in Figure 5.10 ((i) - (vi))

where the experimental data are given along with the theoretical cal-

culations (details of which are given in Chapter 6). Also shown in

Figure 5.10 are the calculated'angular distributions assuming that the

X-rays are produced only in the first 1 pm of the proton's path in the

target (for example, Table 6.7). The errors on the theoretical values

are encompassed within the data symbols used on the figures. In the case

of Titanium (Figure 5.10 (vi)) there was insufficient difference between

the calculations based on the assumption that X-rays are produced over

the whole of the proton range and those based on production in the first

1 pm only, to warrant their separate plotting.

From the results shown in Figure 5.10 it was deduced that for K-shell

X-rays the degree of angular variation showed an approximate inverse

proportionality to the X-ray photon energy, with the X-ray intensity

being constant over a far wider range of target/detector angles for the

TiK X-rays (4.5 keV) than the CK (278 eV) or BK (183 eV) X-rays. It was

also observed that the degree of agreement between the experimental data

and the theoretical calculation improved with increasing photon energy.

However, this would appear not to be the case when considering the AuM

X-rays (2.12 keV) where it might have been expected that the agreement

between experimental and theoretical data for the AuM X-rays would be

similar to that of the SiK X-rays (1.7 keV). In addition, the degree

of angular dependence observed for AuM X-rays (Figure 5.10 (v)) is

larger than that for K-shell X-rays at approximately the same energy

(Figure 5.10 (iii) and (iv)). This may be due to the self-attenuation

coefficient of Gold for its M-shell X-rays being nearer in magnitude

to the self-attenuation coefficient of low energy X-rays, such as the

CK X-rays in a Carbon target, than for higher energies such as SiK X-rays

in a Silicon target (Figure 5.11). A further anisotropy in the emission

of M-shell X-rays might also be expected because of the angular momenta

change which occur in the system upon the emission of M X-rays.

5.2.3 Proton energy dependence of X-ray emission

The variation in X-ray intensity with proton energy (at constant

current and for a fixed amount of charge onto the target) was measured

for the Aluminium and Carbon targets. Three sets of data were taken

for each target, the average values being shown in Figure 5.12\ with the

uncertainties (± s. d. ) being less than the size of the plotted points.

Whilst the X-ray production cross-section for 500 keV protons onto

a Carbon target is 15 times that for an Aluminium target (Figure 6.5)

only a factor 4 difference was observed in practice. This may however

be explained by the decreased transmission of the CK X-rays through the

VYNS window and the Polypropylene filter compared to A1K X-rays -a

factor of 2 in each case (Figures 2.7 and 5.3). It was also seen that

whilst the intensity of the A1K X-rays continued to be increasing

rapidly as the proton energy approached 700 keV, the intensity of the

CK X-rays appeared to be levelling off. As a result the measured ratio

of the Carbon-to-Aluminium intensity decreased with energy (Figure 5.13).

CHAPTER 6

THEORETICAL TREATMENT OF RESULTS

6.1 Compensation for target surface contamination

The results'of the surface contamination study (Section 5.2.1)

showed that most, if not all, of the observed target surface contamina-

tion was Carbon. Whilst this would appear to be of no relevance for

a CK X-ray beam (Figure 5.5) it most certainly does affect the intensity

of other photon energies. (Figure 5.6) because of their absorption in

the Carbon layer. In order to ensure that any intensity variations

occurring in the angular distribution study (Section 5.2.2) was a result

of changing the target and/or detector angle, and not due to the build-

up of Carbon on the target surface, corrections were applied to the

angular distribution data to take into account the depth of Carbon the

proton beam had to traverse on leaving the target.

Using the data taken with the detector at an angle of 90° to the

beam at the start and end of each target angle scan, it was possible to

deduce the effective depth of Carbon on the target surface. If the ini-

tial intensity of the target's characteristic X-rays was II and this falls

to an intensity 12 by the end of a scan then, using the expression for

the attenuation of a homogeneous X-ray beam in traversing a thickness

'x' of matter (Harnwell and Livingood, 1933):

12=1II. exp (- ux) 6.1 where u is a constant of proportionality known as the linear attenuation

coefficient.

The u-values used were derived from the mass attenuation co-

efficients (u/p) as given by Hubbell '(1977) (Figure 6.1), taking the

density, p, of Carbon as 2300 kg. m-3 (Science Data Book, 1978). The

linear attenuation coefficients used for the surface contamination

correction are given in table 6.1. These values were then used in

Equation 6.1 to give the depth, x, of Carbon laid down on the target

surface between the measurements of I1 and I2. In doing this, it was

assumed that the incoming proton energy loss in the Carbon layer was

negligible. Calculations (Section 6.1.1) showed this assumption to

hold within 5%.

Knowledge of the amount of charge which had been collected on the

target between the measurements of 11 and 12 enabled the Carbon contami-

nation to be expressed in terms of 'thickness per charge' (nm/pC).

It was therefore possible to deduce the depth of Carbon on the target

surface at any stage of the angular scan. However, as this calculation

gave the thicknesslat 90° to the beam (in line with the detector position),

a geometrical correction factor had to be included when the detector

angle was varied before the depth of Carbon through which the X-ray

photon had to traverse on leaving the target could be calculated

(Figure 6.2).

Having calculated the amount of Carbon on the target surface at

any particular stage of the angular scan it was possible to modify

the intensities obtained for the characteristic X-ray yield to com-

pensate for any attenuation occurring in the Carbon layer. If IM was

the measured intensity, as given by MINUIT (Chapter 4), at target

angle, 0, and detector angle, a, then the real intensity, before

absorption in the Carbon layer, IX, was given by

IM (8, a) = Ix (6, a) . exp (-u. ye, a) 6.3

where m is the linear attenuation coefficient of Carbon for the X-ray

energy and Yea is the calculated Carbon thickness on the target surface

as given by Equation 6.2 (Figure 6.2). The actual X-ray intensity was

therefore taken as I

6.1.1 Example of surface contamination calculation

An example of a set of data for the Aluminium target is shown in

Table 6.2, with the measured AlK X-ray intensities given in the second

column. In order to calculate the thickness, x, of Carbon laid down

on the target surface between the first (I1 - 164269 counts) and last

(12 a 159694 counts) measurements, Equation 6.1 was rearranged to give Zn (I2/Il)

. x-6.5 u

Substituting the values of I1 and I2 and using p=1.56 x 103 cm 1

(Table 6.1) gave

x=1.81 x 10-5 cm (181 nm).

Since all the measurements were normalised to the charge collected on

the target, each spectrum being collected for 25 pC, the total charge

collected between the measurements of 11 and 12 was 300 pC. This gave

a Carbon build-up depth of 0.6 nm. pC 1

or, alternatively, 15 nm per

25 pC of charge collected on the target.

Taking the geometrical correction factor given in Equation 6.2 into

consideration, the thickness, y, of Carbon through which the AlK X-rays

had to traverse on leaving the target was calculated for each detector

angle (Table 6.2, column 6). It was then possible to use Equation 6.4

to calculate the real intensity of the AlK X-rays having compensated for

the absorption in the surface Carbon layer (Table 6.2, column 7).

Finally, the intensities were normalised to the theoretical maximum

flux at 6= 30° and a= 60° (Section 6.2) - Table 6.2, column 8.

As can be seen from Table 6.2, the total Carbon depth at the end

of the scan was 195 nm at 90° to the proton beam. This corresponds to

a depth of 0.3 pm in the direction of the beam (a = 0°) which would

result in the proton beam losing - 20 keV in the Carbon layer (Figure 6.4),

with-a 5% reduction in the X-ray production cross-section (Figure 6.5).

6.2 Calculation of theoretical angular distribution

K-shell characteristic X-rays are emitted isotropically as a

result of the initial state having an angular momentum of 1/2 (Folkmann,

Cramon and Hertel, 1984). The only angular dependence therefore expected

is a geometrical effect due to the self-absorption of the X-rays in

the target.

The complete description of, the effect of self-absorption in the

target would require detailed information on the-energy and X-ray produc-

tion cross-section of the proton beam as a function of the distance

travelled within the target. However, for the purpose of comparison

with the experimental data a more simplified approach, outlined below,

was used (Figure 6.3).

Using the 'Stopping Power' graphs of Anderson and Ziegler (1977)

the energy of the proton beam, Ep, at 1 pm increments within the target

was calculated, with EP = 500 keV at the target surface (Figure 6.4).

This does assume a constant stopping power within each 1 pm interval

and will therefore cumulatively underestimate the energy loss in each

interval. However, the range of the proton as calculated in this manner

was within 3% of the range as given by Anderson and Ziegler (1977)

and therefore the underestimation in the energy loss was deemed negli-

gible. The average energy of the proton beam in each um, EZ, was taken

to be that of a proton at the centre of the increment, that is for

xi = x1 + (i - 1) Ax 6.6

with x1 = 0.5 pm, Ax =1 pm and i=1 to 6. Using the analytical cross-

section formula of Paul (1984), the K-shell X-ray production cross-section

at each position, ai(E. ), were calculated (Figure 6.5): 71

The proton flux was assumed to be constant over the whole

of the proton range, which is generally the case provided EP » Ik,

the electron ionisation energy (-1 keV). No account was taken of the

divergence of the proton beam, the assumption being that this will only

be of major importance towards the end of the proton range and that

even if divergence is occurring it may still be assumed that on average

the protons follow a central path.

The number of K-shell photons emitted from a thick target into a

solid angle 0 per N incident protons of energy E and range R0 is given by

where n represents the number of target atoms per gram, p represents the

its own characteristic X-rays (Hubbell and Veigele, 1976; Hubbell, 1977)

and d is the distance which the X-ray travels in the target. In the

simplified calculation considered here, the photon flux in the direction

6.2.1 Example of the theoretical angular distribution calculation

For 500 keV protons penetrating an Aluminium target, the energy

of the protons along their range (- 5.5 pm) was calculated using the

stopping power data of Anderson and Ziegler i(1977), (Table 6.3).

These values were plotted (Figure 6.4) and used to find the energy

of the proton beam at the centre of each pm increment (Table 6.4,

column 2). The X-ray production cross-section at each energy was

then derived from Figure 6.5 (Table 6.4, column 3).

Using Equation 6.10, the distance travelled by the X-ray through

the target (d2) was calculated for a given target and detector angle

combination for each of the distances travelled by the proton

(xi, i=1 to 6) (Table 6.5). Taking the Aluminium self-absorption

coefficient as 1.08 x 103 cm- l (Hubbell and Veigele, 1976) the

product, OZ, of the production cross-section (a2) and the attenuation

in the target (e-sdi) was calculated (Table 6.6).

For each target/detector angle combination, 0 e, a

CHAPTER 7

APPLICATION OF MONTE-CARLO TRACK STRUCTURE CODES

7.1 Introduction

This chapter sets out to consider the microtopography of the

radiation tracks produced by the interactions of ultrasoft X-rays

of varying energy in soft tissue. Significant differences in patterns

of energy deposition may result in differences in biological effective-

ness which are open to experimental investigation.

Whenever photons interact with matter they create secondary elec-

trons by means of three competing interactions :

(a) the photoelectric effect, in which most of the incident photon's

energyAs expended in the ejection of an orbital electron;

(b) the Compton effect, in which part of the primary photon's energy

is transferred to a single atomic electron and a 'Compton scattered'

photon is emitted with energy and direction determined from relativis-

tic momentum-energy conservation;

and

(c) pair production, requiring a minimum of 1.02 MeV, in which an

electron-positron pair is produced. The relative importance of each

interaction type shifts with increasing energy such that for photon

energy, lhu < 30 keV the photoelectric effect is dominant (in low

atomic number material) whilst for hu > 10 MeV it is pair production

which is most important. Thus the energy deposition by X- or y- ray

fields on a microscopic scale is determined almost exclusively by the

energy loss of their secondary electrons. The importance of the energy

deposition of electrons is in fact common to all radiation fields,

including heavy ions and neutrons (Paretzke, 1980). A detailed theore-

tical understanding of the microtopography of events occurring within

the track of a charged particle is consequently important. The

116

availability of the necessary cross-section data (for example Opal,

Beaty and Peterson, 1972) and the development of sufficiently powerful

computers has contributed towards an increase in our knowledge of the

energy deposition by ionising radiation by permitting the calculation

of the local concentrations of activations on a nanometer scale using

Monte-Carlo track structure simulation codes (Berger, 1974; Heaps and

Green, 1974; Hamm et at., 1976; Paretzke, 1978).

Ionising radiations can induce in cells a variety of biological

changes. The cell nucleus appears to be the main region of radio-

sensitivity. However, a large proportion of the ionisations, excitations,

and their products, produced by the radiation appear to have no permanent

effect on the cell (Goodhead and Brenner, 1983a; Goodhead et aZ., 1985).

Permanent effects such as cell death (loss of proliferation capacity),

mutations and chromosome aberrations appear to be caused by some'rare,

critical damage induced by the radiation. Differing types ('qualities')

of ionising radiations have differing efficiencies in producing biological

effects thus underlying the need for information on the physical proper-

ties of radiation interaction which may be correlated with the biological

effect of practical radiations and assist in the understanding of the

mechanisms of radiation action.

7.2 Local Energy Deposition of Radiation Tracks

Previous experiments with ultrasoft X-rays have shown that complete

biological effects can be efficiently produced by small amounts of highly

localised energy depositions (Goodhead, Thacker and Cox, 1979;

Goodhead et at., 1980; Thacker, Goodhead and Wilkinson, 1983). For

example, the photo-electron produced as a result of the absorption of

a CK X-ray photon in soft tissue deposits < 280 eV in <7 nm. These

studies indicate that the damage produced by ultrasoft X-rays is similar

in nature to that produced by conventional low L. E. T. radiations such as

hard X-rays and y-rays (Goodhead, Cox and Thacker, 1981).

Page 118: The Production and Use of Proton-Induced Ultrasoft X-rays · 1 The Production and Use of Proton-Induced Ultrasoft X-rays by Elizabeth Anne Jones, B. Sc., A. R. C. S. A thesis submitted

117

The small dimensions (down to < 10 nm) involved in the energy

deposition of low-energy electrons, including those produced by ultra-

soft X-rays are, unfortunately, below the region of most experimental

measurement techniques ( -1 - 10 pm). However, a possible way of

identifying the critical characteristics of radiation action is by the

use of Monte-Carlo track structure codes. These simulate the radiation

tracks in the form of complete atomic, interaction-by-interaction

histories, recording all spatial and energy transfer information

(Paretzke, 1980). This information can then be compared with the

observed relative biological effectiveness (R. B. E. ) of the different

radiations.

During the late 1950s analyses of the relative effectiveness

of heavy ions of different L. E. T. indicated that it might be possible

to describe their mechanism of action in terms of a threshold energy

deposition in small sites (- hundreds of eV in- nm) (Howard-Flanders, 1958).

The availability of Monte-Carlo track structure calculations (Paretzke

et al., 1974; Hamm et al., 1978; Terrisol, Patau and Eudaldo, 1978;

Wilson and Paretzke, 1980) supported by low-pressure cloud chamber

measurements (Budd and Marshall, 1980; Kwok, Budd and Marshall, \, 1981;

Brenner, 1982) has enabled the threshold energy concept to be reassessed.

Previously reported experiments (Cox, Thacker and Goodhead, 1977;

Goodhead et at., 1980; Thacker, Cox and Goodhead, 1980;: Virsik et at., 1980;

Goodhead, Thacker and Cox, 1981a) have shown that very low energy photons

have considerably greater effectiveness per unit dose than hard X-rays

or y-rays, the lowest energy X-rays having the greater biological

effect. Since the X-rays deposit energy throughout the irradiated cells

only in highly localised, small quantities, complete biological lesions

may be produced by these well defined energy concentrations. Goodhead

and Brenner (1983b) set out to investigate the threshold energy concept

in terms of a distance and an energy such that the probability of this

Page 119: The Production and Use of Proton-Induced Ultrasoft X-rays · 1 The Production and Use of Proton-Induced Ultrasoft X-rays by Elizabeth Anne Jones, B. Sc., A. R. C. S. A thesis submitted

118

amount of energy (or greater) being deposited by the X-rays within a

volume correlated with the observed R. B. E. of the radiation. By com-

paring data obtained from experiments (Goodhead and Brenner, 1983b and

references therein) with those calculated using the Monte-Carlo track

structure codes (Brenner, 1982; Brenner and Zaider, 1982; Zaider, Brenner

and Wilson, 1983) it was concluded that, for low L. E. T. radiations at

least, there was correlation for threshold energies of about 100 eV in

a spherical volume of diameter -3 nm. This correlation did not hold

for high L. E. T. radiations.

Whilst spherical volumes are mathematically convenient, intra-

cellular structures at the nanometer level of organisation (such as

the D. N. A. double helix, nucleosome, chromatin fibre) are better

modelled by cylindrical volumes. Since 1983 a method for scoring

energy depositions in randomly orientated cylinders has been developed

(Charlton et al., 1985a, 1985b; Goodhead et al., 1985) and using a

Monte-Carlo track structure code, based on that of Wilson and Paretzke

(1980), an extensive calculation and tabulation of absolute frequencies

of energy deposition by mono-energetic protons and a-particles has

already been produced (Charlton et al., 1985a). The process is being

extended to include mono-energetic electrons and photons (H. Nikjoo,

pers. comm. ).

7.3 Calculations using a Monte-Carlo structure code

The energy deposition in small cylindrical targets by simulated

electron tracks from the absorption of Carbon, Aluminium and Titanium

K-shell X-rays has already been calculated (Nikjoo, Goodhead and

Charlton, 1987). The Monte-Carlo technique employed has the capability

of dealing with extensive input-tables on the relative photo-absorption

and atomic de-excitation probabilities for a given irradiated medium,

such as soft tissue. However, the construction of complete input

Page 120: The Production and Use of Proton-Induced Ultrasoft X-rays · 1 The Production and Use of Proton-Induced Ultrasoft X-rays by Elizabeth Anne Jones, B. Sc., A. R. C. S. A thesis submitted

119

tables to include all modes of absorption of an ultrasoft characteristic

X-ray by atoms of all elements in soft tissue, weighted to take account

of the photoionisation cross-sections and the percentage by weight of

each element in soft tissue, is very time consuming. It would therefore

seem practical to try to reduce the time taken by considering only

the most significant contribution(s). In this way a wider range of

photon energies may be investigated and any discontinuities in local

energy deposition as'a function of photon energy observed. ' These may

have biological consequences and therefore be open to experimental

investigation with appropriate proton-induced ultrasoft X-ray beams.

Goodhead and Thacker (1977) have shown that Carbon, Nitrogen and

Oxygen atoms are responsible for - 99% of the absorbed dose when

mammalian soft tissue is'irradiated by AlK X-rays. The most signifi-

cant contribution (- 90%) is the result of absorption in the Oxygen

atom's K-shell - Oxygen accounting for - 75% by mass of soft tissue

of the same atomic composition as spleen of 'reference man' (I. C. R. P.,

1975). It might therefore be expected that an input table which

showed the production of electrons resulting from the absorption of

characteristic X-rays in the Oxygen atoms only would approximately

simulate the effects taking place in soft tissue having its full atomic

composition.

7.3.1 Track Structure and Scoring Programme

Using a Norsk Data mini-computer at the M. R. C. Radiobiology Unit

and the electron track simulation code 'MOCA7' contained within the

charged-particle track structure code 'MOCA14' (Wilson and Paretzke,

1981) along with the scoring programme 'ESCORE' (D. E. Charlton and

H. Nikjoo, pers. comm. ) it was possible to carry out scoring for

energy deposition in small cylindrical volumes for the K-shell

characteristic X-rays of selected elements within the atomic number

range 45Zä 20.

Page 121: The Production and Use of Proton-Induced Ultrasoft X-rays · 1 The Production and Use of Proton-Induced Ultrasoft X-rays by Elizabeth Anne Jones, B. Sc., A. R. C. S. A thesis submitted

120

A number of photons were considered for each X-ray energy, taking

only absorption by the Oxygen atom into account. This resulted in

either one or two electrons, depending on whether the photon energy was

sufficiently large to cause the release of an Auger electron as well as

the initial photo-electron (Coghlan and Clausing, 1973) (Figure 1.2).

A minimum amount of energy required to free an electron ('residual

potential energy') of 32 eV was assumed for Oxygen in soft tissue

(H. Nikjoo, pers. comm. ). The resulting input parameters for all the

elements considered are given in Table 7.1.

The code MOCA7 was then used to generate the tracks of electrons

in water vapour adjusted to a density of 1 g. cm 3 (103 kg m73), the

electron histories being followed until their energies had fallen to

10 eV. Although liquid water is of greater biological relevance than

water vapour (the cell consisting of - 80% water), there are fewer

experimentally measured cross-sections on which to base a liquid

water transport code. Although it is known that there are differences

between macroscopic cross-sections in the liquid and vapour phases

(Goodhead, 1987d) a comparison of spatial patterns of energy deposi-

tion, -for electrons, between liquid water codes (Hamm et al., 1976;

Terrisol, Patau and Eudaldo, 1978) and those obtained from a water

vapour code (Turner et aZ., 1982,1983a, 1983b) indicate significant

differences only in energy deposition over small (< 1 nm) distances

(Paretzke et al., 1986).

7.3.2. Results

Scoring of the energy deposition of the electrons was carried out

within a gross volume defined by a virtual sphere whose radius was at

least 1.1 times that of the length of the longest electron track.

Chords cutting the virtual sphere were generated using 'p-randomness'

(Kellerer, 1971) and these served as the axes of the cylindrical

volumes in which the energy deposition was scored (Figure 7.1).

Each cylinder was then divided into small sections, beginning at a

random point along its length, and the total energy deposited in each

section recorded. The lengths of the sections were chosen as multiples

of the radius of the cylinder. The frequency of deposition of given

amounts of energy in each cylindrical section was recorded and normalised

to the frequency which would have occurred had the macroscopic region

containing the cylinder been subjected to an electron flux delivering

one Gray (Gy). As a check on the sampling accuracy, the ratio of the

volume of the virtual sphere to the volume sampled was compared with the

ratio of the energy deposited in the virtual sphere to the energy

deposited in the target cylinders. These two ratios were generally

within 5% of each other. The diameter and length of the target cylinders

could be varied and data were collected for dimensions similar to those

of biological structures:

Biological Structure Cylinder diameter (nm)

Element of DNA 2 Nucleosome 10

Element of chromatin fibre 25

In each case, energy deposition was calculated for four cylinder

lengths, 1, given by

where d represents the cylinder diameter and n=0.5,1,2 and 4.

Scoring was initially carried out for Carbon and Aluminium

(Z =6 and 13 respectively) to enable a comparison to be drawn between

the data obtained from considering absorption by the Oxygen atoms only

and those-already obtained by H. Nikjoo (pers. comm. ) from considering

the full elemental composition of soft tissue (as given for spleen of

data were represented by the number of hits within the target cylinders.

If 'H' represents the total number of hits within the target cylinders

and 'f>E' denotes the frequency of energy deposition greater than E per Gy,

then the percentage error on each frequency was calculated using:

nE = f>E

xH7.2 f>0

% error =� nE x 100 = (rtE) 2x 100 7.3

nE

If the entire track of a CK X-ray absorption in soft tissue is

approximated as a highly localised ('point') event in a large scoring

cylinder, then as the cylinder length increases the frequency of energy

deposition greater than a given amount, E, would be expected to increase

proportionally. From Figure 7.2, (ii) and (iii), it is seen that the

frequency of energy deposition does double with cylinder length for the

larger diameter cylinders, but for the smallest cylinder diameter (Figure

7.2, (i)) as the cylinder length is doubled the frequency increases by

more than a factor 2 at high threshold energies (E > 50 eV) and less

than 2 at lower energies. This suggests that as the target cylinder

length increases it is more likely to contain large energy depositions

(large hits) and less likely to have just a small amount of energy

deposited in it. Figure 7.3 shows that AlK X-rays follow the same

tendency but, because of the larger dimensions of the tracks, a larger

sized target (> 25 nm diameter) is required before the approximation

holds that doubling the target size doubles the chance of hitting it.

The results of scoring the CK and AlK X-rays showed sufficient

agreement between the data considering absorption in Oxygen atoms only

and the data taking the complete elemental composition of soft tissue

into account to warrant the continuation of scoring using absorption by

Oxygen only. Using the data of Table 7.1 as input, scoring was there-

fore carried out for the remaining elemental characteristic energies using

the code ESCORE. A limit of Z <_ 20 was set because efficient scoring

can only be carried out for low-energy electrons, where the entire

electron track is confined to a relatively small volume. For high-

energy electrons, multi-stage sampling procedures have proved necessary

to enhance the scoring efficiency (H. Nikjoo, pers. comm. ). The com-

plete energy deposition data are given in Appendix 2, with selected

samples, including the lowest and highest (Z =4 and 20) photon energies,

plotted in Figures 7.4,7.5 and 7.6. The target cylinder sizes were

chosen to represent:

(i) element of DNA

(ii) nucleosome

(iii) element of chromatin fibre

2nm diameter x 2nm length

: 10nm diameter x 5nm length

25nm diameter x 25nm length

The cylinder lengths chosen for the elements of DNA and chromatin

fibre are arbitrary.

Having generated the basic data it was possible to draw an inter-

elemental comparison by selecting a particular size of target cylinder

and plotting the frequency of events depositing more than a given energy,

E, in the target as a function of characteristic X-ray energy. Such

data are presented in Figures 7.7,7.8 and 7.9. Whilst comparison with

existing experimental data (Goodhead and Brenner, 1983b; D. T. Goodhead,

pers. comm. ) would suggest that threshold energies of the order of 100 eV

within targets of - 2nm diameter is the important region in terms of low

L. E. T. radiations such as X-rays, larger sized targets are of particular

interest when considering high L. E. T. radiations such as a-particles

(Goodhead et al,, 1985).

Figure 7.7 shows that low energy X-ray photons (< 1 keV) are the

most efficient in depositing small, localised amounts of energy within

a target. Within this region, the data show varying degrees of struc-

ture, the more pronounced being at the higher energy of deposition

(E - 200eV). The decrease observed at the lowest X-ray energies

(BeK, BK and CK) is probably due to the limit set by the X-ray energy

itself; as E approaches the X-ray energy the frequency of energy

deposition greater than E will obviously fall. Assuming the uncertain-

ties are represented by Equations 7.2 and 7.3, the fluctuations in the

region of the NK, OK and FK X-ray energies are more than can be accounted

for by scoring statistics alone. Referring to Table 7.1 it is seen that

for Fluorine, an Auger electron is emitted as well as the photo-electron.

Looking in particular at a threshold energy, E- 200eV, the photo-

electron (at 140eV), if acting independently, should be incapable

of depositing energy > 200eV within the target and hence the probability

of energy deposition should be dominated by the Auger electron (505eV).

The Auger electron is similar in energy to the photo-electron from the

interaction of OK X-rays with the Oxygen atoms in soft tissue, yet the

probability of energy deposition > 200eV per Gy for the FK X-rays is

double that for the OK X-rays. This would suggest that there might be

a substantial combined effect resulting from the overlapping of the

electrons as opposed to each electron acting independently.

Figures 7.8 and 7.9 again show that the low energy photons are the

most efficient at depositing small amounts of energy within a target.

With a target size of 25nm x 25nm (Figure 7.9) the electrons produced

by the low energy photons are usually entirely enclosed within the

targets (for example, the CK X-ray (278eV) gives rise to an electron

with a range of < 7nm (I. C. R. U., 1970)). As the photon energy increases,

whilst the electrons produced are still enclosed by the targets there

will be fewer of them per unit dose, and hence the efficiency of deposit-

ing a threshold energy falls (from BK to Na, X-rays). Further increase

in the photon energy (> 1 keV) leads to electrons starting to 'escape'

from, or enter into, a target and so targets are more likely to be hit

(from Na K to higher energy X-rays). As the threshold energy increases

(from 150eV to 600eV) the benefit of additional hits is lost because

these higher energy (lower L. E. T. ) electrons have a low probability of

depositing large energy in a target even if they do pass through it.

CHAPTER 8

DISCUSSION

8.1 Comparison of the observed angular dependence of proton-

induced ultrasoft X-rays with theoretical calculation

Both the observed and calculated angular dependence of proton-

induced ultrasoft X-rays are shown in Figure 5.10 ((i) - (vi)).

For K-shell X-rays the agreement between the experimental data and

the theoretical estimate, based upon the consideration of X-ray

production over the total proton range in the target, is best when the

target is inclined at an angle of 30° to the proton beam. As the target-

to-beam angle decreases the experimental data becomes more in agreement

with that calculated from consideration of the X-rays produced in the

first 1pm of the proton range only.

A certain amount of disagreement between experimental data and

theoretical estimates might be expected because of the limited (fpm)

resolution steps of the calculations and the simplifying assumption

that the proton energy remained constant over each fpm increment

(Section 6.2). In fact, the proton energy (and therefore the X-ray

production cross-section) would be greatest at the target edge side

of each increment where self-absorption effects would be less. The

effects would be expected to be more pronounced at larger target angles,

0, due to the sin 0 dependence (Figure 8.1). Further reasons for dis-

agreement might also be expected as the result of an irregular target

surface profile. Studies by Gaines (1981) have shown that anisotropy

additional to that produced due to self-absorption in a smooth target

can be expected for surface roughness with average peak-to-valley

distances greater than -0.1Nm. Methods of quantifying the effect of

target roughness were considered, the most promising being the intro-

duction of regular rulings onto a smooth target having an average

peak-to-valley distance of, < 0.05pm. However, the cost of producing

such a high specification target meant that such a study extended

beyond the scope of this work.

8.2' A practical beam line for proton-induced ultrasoft X-rays

From the results of the angular distribution study (Section 5.2.2)

it is seen that for the maximum intensity of characteristic X-rays a

small target-to-proton beam angle is desirable. Whilst practical limita-

tions in this work, resulting from the need for electrical connections,

have meant that the narrowest target angle studied was 30°, geometrical

considerations (Equation 6.10) show that narrower angles would maximise

the X-ray yield still further. For any particular target angle, the

optimum detector angle, that is the irradiation position, would appear

to be perpendicular to the target surface with the X-ray yield decreasing

as the irradiation position moves further away from the perpendicular.

With particular reference to the target angles and detector angle varia-

tions used in this work, the maximum X-ray yield occurred for a target

angle of 30° and a detection angle of 60° to the beam. These effects

become less important as the X-ray energy increases -a direct conse-

quence of the reduction in the target self-absorption of the X-rays.

Whilst increased proton energy does, in general, lead to an

increased X-ray production cross-section (although for the lowest Z

elements such as Boron and Carbon, the cross-section does reach a

plateau at proton energies of a few 100 keV (Figure 6.5) before falling

as the energy increases further towards 1 MeV and greater), the

advantage thus gained must be weighed against the necessity of elimi-

nating all scattered protons from the photon beam. Since this would

appear to require some form of filtration (Section 2.4.1), the higher

the proton energies the greater will be the filter thickness required

to stop the scattered protons. This will result in a corresponding

Page 145: The Production and Use of Proton-Induced Ultrasoft X-rays · 1 The Production and Use of Proton-Induced Ultrasoft X-rays by Elizabeth Anne Jones, B. Sc., A. R. C. S. A thesis submitted

144

decrease in the transmission of the photon beam thereby offsetting the

increased production at high proton energies.

Previous work (Sterk, 1965; Khan, Potter and Worley, 1965; Gaines,

1981) has shown that Carbon contamination of the target surface is a

common problem when studying proton-induced ultrasoft X-rays. The

indications are, however, (Section 5.2.1) that this may at least be

reduced by making use of high (> NA) proton beam currents. Beam currents

of the order of 500 pA have been used at the M. R. C. Radiobiology Unit

and whilst Carbon deposition was still observed on the target surface,

the rate of build-up of Carbon and the subsequent reduction in charac-

teristic X-ray yield (from an Aluminium target) is far less pronounced

(D. T. Goodhead, pers. comm. ) than with beam currents of - 35 nA as used

in this work. The beneficial effects of high target currents may be

due to target heating.

When considering the irradiation of biological systems, and in

particular, mammalian cells, additional factors have to be taken into

account. Although all the measurements in this study were made within

the evacuated scattering chamber (Section 2.2.3) the detection/

irradiation position for mammalian cell irradiations would almost

certainly need to be at atmospheric pressure in order for the cells

to be able to survive. It is necessary to irradiate an attached mono-

layer of cells such that their position is well-defined and there is

minimum attenuation across the cell layer. The subsequent removal,

counting and biological assay of the cells necessitates the irradia-

tion of a large number ( -. 104 - 105) of cells and hence an irradiation

dish base of the order of 3cm in diameter is required. A well-defined

entrance surface is required for dosimetry purposes and therefore

irradiation cannot be from the air side (as opposed to the dish base

side) of the cells since, even if the growing medium was poured away

there would remain an unmeasurable, variable layer of liquid, and if

Page 146: The Production and Use of Proton-Induced Ultrasoft X-rays · 1 The Production and Use of Proton-Induced Ultrasoft X-rays by Elizabeth Anne Jones, B. Sc., A. R. C. S. A thesis submitted

145

the dishes were dried the cells would die. As a result of these

considerations the preferred system in use is to make an irradiation

dish with a thin plastic base on which cells are grown, and irradiate

through the dish base (First International Ultrasoft X-Ray Workshop,

1987). A typical experiment (for example, to obtain a dose-response

curve) would require the irradiation of many such dishes.

Whilst cells may be grown on a variety of materials, the best

combination of small, well-defined attenuation across the irradiation

dish base and cell growth compatibility appears to be provided by

1.5Nm Polyethylene terephthalate, C10H8 0 4,

('Mylar' (Du Pont))

(D. T. Goodhead, pers. comm. ). In order to achieve uniformity of dose

to a large area monolayer of cells, very little distortion of the dish

base can be tolerated and so to avoid a pressure differential across

the dish base, atmospheric pressure is required on both sides of the

irradiation dish. This leads to the requirement of a 'vacuum window'

to bring the photon beam out of the vacuum chamber, in which the target

is positioned, into atmospheric pressure. There will, therefore, be a

'flight-path' between the vacuum window and the dish base.

Assuming an irradiation dish base size of - 3cm diameter, a

required uniformity of 14

beam across the base means that the vacuum

window has to be of comparable diameter. However, the vacuum window

also needs to be able to tolerate the pressure differential of

10"3 - 104 Pa on the vacuum side and atmospheric pressure (105 Pa)

on the other, and an unsupported window thick enough to tolerate such

a, pressure differential over a circular area - 3cm in diameter would

greatly reduce the X-ray flux. A thin window (for example, 2.5pm

'Hostaphan', '(Hoechst)) on a supporting grid would therefore appear to

be more 'appropriate. There is then the additional problem resulting

from the 'shadowing' of the transmitted beam by the grid wires.

Page 147: The Production and Use of Proton-Induced Ultrasoft X-rays · 1 The Production and Use of Proton-Induced Ultrasoft X-rays by Elizabeth Anne Jones, B. Sc., A. R. C. S. A thesis submitted

146

The irradiation dish must not therefore be too near the vacuum window

in order that the natural divergence of the photon beam from the finite-

sized source will cancel out any shadowing effects.

some filtration of the scattered protons, additional filtration will be

required in order to ensure that no protons enter the irradiation dish.

The vacuum window-to-dish base separation may be used as a flight tube

with low atomic number gas (Hydrogen, H2, or Helium, He) flowing at

atmospheric pressure. Whilst Helium would be preferable from the safety

point of view, the increased attenuation in Helium at energies <1 keV

would make Hydrogen a better choice at the lowest energies. Both H2 and

He are efficient at stopping protons (500 keV protons having a range of

< 10cm in both gases) and have lower attenuation coefficients, p, for

ultrasoft X-rays than air. For example (Hubbell and Veigele, 1976):

for CK X-rays

Whilst the vacuum window and the irradiation dish base will offer

base of the irradiation dish, the photons need to be produced over a

large target area. The nearer the vacuum window is to the target

position, the larger the required production area since there will be

less distance over which the photon beam may diverge. In terms of

maximising the dose rate to the cells however, the nearer the vacuum

window and the dish base are to the target, the better. One possible

alternative to using a large diameter proton beam bombarding the

target would be to scan the proton beam across the target surface such

that the overall production surface area is larger.

Finally, consideration must be given to the Carbon contamination

X-rays, the elimination of which will require additional filtration to

that offered by the window, dish base and flight tube gas. Whilst it

was possible in this study to deduce the BK X-ray yield by subtracting

the CK X-ray yield (taken from the Aluminium target data) from the

combined peak, for biological irradiations deduction of effectiveness

by subtraction of observed effectiveness of mixed beams would introduce

very large errors and would usually not be practical. The necessity of

growing cells on some material, usually polymers, and the need for a

vacuum window (both of which will in general have transmission charac-

teristics dominated by the CK edge) means that it would also be very

difficult to filter out the CK X-rays from a combined beam of Carbon

and some other low Z elemental X-ray without removing the X-ray energy

actually required. X-rays from targets of atomic number lower than

Carbon (Z = 6) have the added disadvantage of having higher attenuation

coefficients in the flight tube gases than Carbon. Hence, even if it

were possible to filter out the CK X-rays produced along with, for

example, the BeK X-rays from a Beryllium target using a Be filter

(X-ray Data Booklet, 1986) it is unlikely that a sufficiently intense

beam of BeK X-rays could be obtained at a practical irradiation position.

For elements with Z near, but greater than 6, a similar problem

exists. - Whilst it might be possible to use a Nitride or Oxide filter

to transmit the NK or OK X-rays respectively at the expense of the CK

X-rays, these elemental X-rays would have had to have been produced

from compound targets such as Si3N4 or A1203, SiO2 and MgO, 2and

hence the'photon beam would also consist of the higher energy charac-

teristic X-rays which could not be filtered out efficiently whilst

still leaving the lower energy X-rays. However, once the characteris-

tic photon energies are >1 keV it should be possible to use a filter,

ideally of the same Z as the target, such that the CK X-rays are removed

148

without over-reducing the yield of the required X-rays. Additional

filters would also reduce the gas tube length required to ensure the

removal of all scattered protons from the photon beam.

Because of the difficulty in achieving a total removal of the

contaminant CK X-rays from other characteristic low energy (< 1 keV)

X-rays, it would appear that, other than for Carbon targets, there is a

very limited biological use for proton-induced low target Z charac-

teristic X-rays. It may however, in a well characterised system where

the Carbon build-up is kept to a minimum and in which a detailed study

is made on the rate-of build-up under specific operating conditions,

be possible to look at the effect of a combined energy photon beam on

biological systems and then, by comparison with the effectiveness of

CK X-rays alone, "deduce the additional effects due to a second X-ray

energy.

A schematic diagram summarising some of these practical considera-

tions is shown in Figure 8.2. Specific distances (such as target-to-

window, window-to-dish base) will vary according to particular systems.

Proton beam energy, available beam diameter, supporting grid wire size

and separation, and practical limitations on target and irradiation

angles all have to be considered.

The beam line shown in Figure 8.2 is by no means a unique solution

to the practical problems of biological irradiation with proton-induced

ultrasoft X-rays. Different systems can be, and are being, used (First

International Ultrasoft X-Ray Workshop, 1987). Attenuation problems

are greatly reduced by actually growing the cells on the vacuum window,

thus eliminating the need for a flight tube. However, in this case it

would be necessary to incorporate filters into the vacuum system to

ensure that scattered protons do not reach the cells and, other than

for Carbon targets, to absorb the CK X-rays. Also, assuming that an

irradiating beam area of - 3cm diameter is required, the vacuum window

would still need to be supported by a grid so that the cells would have

to be grown carefully in between the grid wires if they were to be

uniformly irradiated. Growing the cells on the vacuum window would

also mean that the area immediately inside the window would have to be

let up to atmospheric pressure prior to the irradiation of each sample

for the window to be changed.

The pressure'differential across the vacuum window could be reduced

by irradiating the cells under reduced pressure. Instead of bringing

the photon beam out into atmospheric pressure the cells could be enclosed

in a 'wet irradiation chamber' where saturated water vapour, at a pressure

of. - 10 4

Pa (0.1 atmospheric pressure), was admitted into an evacuated

chamber. Another alternative would be to bring the photon beam out

through a much smaller vacuum window, such as a narrow slit, and then

scan the irradiation dish across the slit. The reduced area of the

vacuum window might also eliminate the need for a support grid.

8.3 Monte-Carlo electron track structure data

Previous comparisons (Goodhead and Brenner, 1983b; D. T. Goodhead,

pers. comm. ) between experimental data and the calculated frequencies

of energy deposition using Monte-Carlo simulated tracks of randomly

emitted photo- and Auger-electrons generated by ultrasoft X-rays seem

to suggest that energy deposition of > 100 eV in small volumes

( -2nm diameter) may be a critical property when considering the

biological effectiveness of low ionisation density radiation such as

X-rays. The effectiveness of various K-shell X-rays at depositing

threshold energies of - 100 eV within small cylindrical (2nm diameter

x'2nm'length) targets is shown in Figure 7.7, where a certain degree

of structure is observed at the low (< 1 keV) photon energies. This

suggests that biological irradiations with these characteristic X-rays

Page 152: The Production and Use of Proton-Induced Ultrasoft X-rays · 1 The Production and Use of Proton-Induced Ultrasoft X-rays by Elizabeth Anne Jones, B. Sc., A. R. C. S. A thesis submitted

151

would be an useful indication of the validity of the threshold energy

concept.

However, biological irradiations with proton-induced ultrasoft

X-rays in the region of interest (CK to FK X-rays) are subject to a

number of experimental problems. Irradiations with proton-induced

CK X-rays (278 eV) have been undertaken at, for example, the M. R. C.

Radiobiology Unit. The main problem at this energy is one of attenua-

tion within the cells, the absorbed dose being reduced by 50% over 1.2Nm

depth of the cell (Goodhead, Thacker and Cox, 1979). This compares with

an average 'flattened' cell thickness of - zum (Goodhead and Thacker,

1977). Using the data of Henke et al. (1982) for the mass attenuation

coefficients (p/p) for the various X-ray energies in Oxygen (Table 8.1)

to represent the attenuation in soft tissue, the attenuation coeffi-

cient for FK X-rays is found to be twice that for CK X-rays. FK X-rays

would therefore be a very unsuitable choice for practical irradiations.

From Table 8.1, it is seen that in terms of attenuation, NK and

0K X-rays would be a better choice of low energy photons, but there are

further practical difficulties concerning their production. If proton

bombardment is to be used as a means of producing the characteristic,

ultrasoft X-rays then, as has been already discussed in Section 8.2,

there are problems with scattered proton filtration and the elimination

of contaminant CK X-rays as well as the higher energy characteristic

X-rays, such as SiK, A1K or MgK X-rays, which will inevitably be

produced from the compound target.

It would therefore appear necessary to use an alternative method

to proton bombardment of solid targets for the production of low

energy photons (other than CK X-rays) if these particular biological

irradiations are to be undertaken. A strong contender would be the

use of synchrotron radiation sources which are capable of producing

high intensities of monochromatic ultrasoft X-rays. These are not

confined to producing characteristic energies and would eliminate the

need for filtration of scattered protons and contaminating X-rays.

There are, however, other practical difficulties such as a small

beam size and the requirement for vacuum windows capable of with-

standing ultra high vacuum on one side and atmospheric pressure on

the other, but these problems are not insurmountable. It might, there-

fore, be possible, 'using'synchrotron produced ultrasoft X-ray energies,

to carry out biological irradiations at low photon energies such as

NK (392 eV) and'OK (525 eV) X-rays and compare their biological effec-

tiveness with the frequency of threshold energy depositions within

small volumes as calculated by Monte-Carlo techniques. Such informa-

tion would aid the further elucidation of the critical properties of

ionising radiation action.

APPENDIX 2

The absolute frequency of energy depositions greater than a given

amount in each elemental cylinder per Gray of absorbed dose to the

medium

The tables are headed by the photon energy for the particular

scoring run, and the number of interactions considered. The diameter

of the target cylinder is given and also the number of infinitely long

cylinders that were hit (a measure of the statistics of the run). The

body of the table shows the frequency of hits of energy greater than

E, and data for four different lengths of cylinders are given. The

frequencies apply to a single target cylinder placed at random in water

irradiated uniformly with an absorbed dose of 1 Gy. In some cases, the

last values in each column are subject to very large uncertainties

(Equation 7.3) resulting in the repetition of the same value, and may

therefore be ignored.

The frequency averaged mean specific energy in the targets, z, is

given at the base of each column. This was calculated from the full

frequency distribution of hit sizes and independently of the absolute

normalisation of the scoring frequencies in the Table. Let f(E) be the

frequency of energy depositions ('hits') of energy between E and E+ dE.

Then the frequency mean hit size, E, is given by

Co E_0E. f(E). dE

A2.1

ö f(E). dE

irrespective of the normalisation of the frequency distribution.

Hence, the frequency mean specific energy is

z=E A2.2 m

where m is the mass of a target (I. C. R. U., 1983; -Goodhead, 1987d).

Page 171: The Production and Use of Proton-Induced Ultrasoft X-rays · 1 The Production and Use of Proton-Induced Ultrasoft X-rays by Elizabeth Anne Jones, B. Sc., A. R. C. S. A thesis submitted

170

(In I. C. R. U. notation this frequency mean specific energy is written

as ZF (I. C. R. U., 1983)). The probability of a hit of any size is given

by z-1 and should, with ideal scoring, equal the frequency of a hit

greater than 0 eV (f>o). The difference between these values is a

measure of the statistical uncertainty of the data. The 'scoring

efficiency', S, is defined by:

f>o - z-1 I S (%) _ -1

x 100 A2.3 z

Finally, the number of hits from which the statistics are dervied is

given at the bottom of each column.
