The aim of this paper is twofold. First, we deal with the extension to the random framework of the piecewise Fröbenius method to solve Airy differential equations. This extension is based on mean square stochastic calculus. ...
[EN] A gamma spectrometer including an HP Ge detector is commonly used for environmental radioactivity measurements. The efficiency of the detector should be calibrated for each geometry considered. Simulation of the ...
[EN] Megavoltage sources are commonly used in radiotherapy treatments, and the determination of the spectral
distribution of a photon beam is extremely important for
exact dosimetry and for the calculation of therapeutic
dose ...
