Funded Activity Summary

How antimatter and matter solvates in liquids. This project aims to improve solvation in transport calculations and polar liquids. Solvation, the process of a particle becoming trapped in a liquid, is important in Positron Emission Tomography medical imaging. However, this application can only be described through particle transport simulation, which cannot address solvation. Modelling the dynamical solvation process of the electron and the positron, its antimatter counterpart, is expected to enable accurate simulation of medical imaging, acquiring the greatest amount of information for the smallest dosage of radiation to the patient allowing for lower patient radiation doses and more informative scans.
