Applications of muon in cancer research

本研究的主要目的是利用μ子方法检测生物样品中的分子氧，将μ子方法应用于癌症研究。长期目标是将灵敏的μ子探针应用于癌症的早期诊断和治疗。由于生物样品中存在水和分子氧，我计划从水、水中含氧、缓冲液和生物样品开始系统研究。到目前为止，我已经研究了水和冰中的介子和介子元素的行为，并使用提出的新模型对数据进行了满意的解释。下一步，将在项目期间开展生物样品（血红蛋白、血浆）及血红蛋白、血浆非均质系统中氧的检测。

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.
