Monte Carlo simulation of mini TEPC microdosimetric spectra: Influence of low energy electrons

In the past few years, miniaturized tissue-equivalent gas detectors (mini TEPCs) have been developed for application of microdosimetry in radiotherapy. These mini-TEPCs are characterised by millimetric dimensions. They are equipped neither with an internal calibration source nor with electric field tubes, which would properly define the sensitive volume hence the simulated site size. In spite of these lacks, mini TEPCs working in gas flow...
