Abstract：
:At the Swiss Institute for Nuclear Research (SIN) cancer patients are irradiated with negatively charged pi mesons using a 60-beam medical pion generator, the Piotron. A low-pressure tissue-equivalent proportional counter was used to measure absorbed dose and microdosimetric spectra. A method was developed to allow discrimination of events from different beam components, i.e., beam contamination (electrons and muons), pions in flight, and stopping pions. Measurements were performed along the axis and at lateral distances off one of these identical pion beams. The marked changes of total microdosimetric spectra with depth in phantom detected in earlier measurements are mainly due to large variations in the dose contributions of the beam components and much less to changes in the shapes of the individual microdosimetric spectra. The single beam measurements were used to calculate three-dimensional distributions of absorbed dose and of dose mean lineal energy, yD, for dynamic patient irradiations. Within the whole target volume yD remains nearly constant when irradiated with all 60 beams, whereas considerable changes were found for irradiations with 31 beams coming from a semicircle. Both size and shape of target volumes influence yD, the maximum values ranging from 30 to 45 keV/micron.
