Tissue substitutes in experimental radiation physics.

Abstract

In this review of tissue substitute materials, the historical development of the important systems is traced from the early 1900's. Tabulations of the constituents, elemental compositions, specific gravities, and the photon and electron interaction characteristics of 64 materials are given together with recommendations of systems having useful simulation properties. Formulation and manufacturing procedures are described and possible future developments in both materials and phantom research are outlined.

The role of supernova neutrinos on molecular homochirality.

Electroweak parity violating interaction between supernova (SN) neutrinos and electrons of a simple chiral molecule is studied related to the origin of molecular homochirality. Appearance of supernova remnants inside molecular clouds favours the interaction of SN-neutrinos with interstellar molecules, leading to a energetic difference between the two enantiomers of the order of 10(-5) eV. This energetic difference is closer to the thermic energy of the interstellar medium, so molecular homochirality could be enhanced in molecular clouds containing supernova remnants inside it due to neutrino interaction.
