  Abstract

Theoretical calculations have been performed to obtain microdosimetrical characteristics for protons in energy range from 40 to 200 MeV. This energy range is a representative of proton energies in tissue during radiation therapy and it also represents a large portion of the proton fluency in the South Atlantic Anomaly. Distributions of deposited energy calculated using Monte Carlo track structure code TRIOL and own-made programs were compared with experimental data obtained using spherical tissue-equivalent proportional counter. A good agreement between calculated and experimentally obtained microdosimetry spectra has been found.
