Applications of muon in cancer research

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

Main goal of this research is to detect the molecular oxygen in biosamples using muon method to apply the muon method in cancer research. The long-term goal is to apply sensitive probe of muon for early diagnosis and management of cancer. Since the water and molecular oxygen are existed in the biosamples, I have planned to perform systematic study starting from water, oxygen dependent in water, buffer and biosamples. So far, I have studied the muon and muonium behavior in water and ice and explained the data satisfactorily using proposed new model. As a next step, the detection of oxygen in biosamples (hemoglobin, blood plasma) and inhomogeneous system of hemoglobin and blood plasma will be performed within the project period.
