The Contribution of Secondary Particles Following Carbon Ion Radiotherapy to Soft Errors in CIEDs by Yudai Kawakami, Makoto Sakai, Hiroaki Masuda, Masami Miyajima, Takao Kanzaki, Kazutoshi Kobayashi, Tatsuya Ohno, Hiroshi Sakurai

“…<italic>Introduction:</italic> While carbon ion radiotherapy is highly effective in cancer treatment, it has a high risk of causing soft error, which leads to malfunctions in cardiac implantable electrical devices (CIEDs). To predict the risk of malfunction prior to treatment, it is necessary to measure the reaction cross-sections and contributions to the soft error of secondary particles generated during treatments. …”
