Response to the authors of 'On the (un)effectiveness of Proton Boron Capture in Proton Therapy'
GAP Cirrone, G Cuttone, L Manti +15
This manuscript provides a response to a recent report by Mazzone et al. available online on arXiv that, in turn, tentatively aims at demonstrating the inefficacy of proton boron c…
A new energy spectrum reconstruction method for Time-Of-Flight diagnostics of high-energy laser-driven protons
G. Milluzzo, V. Scuderi, A. Alejo +20
The Time-of-Flight (ToF) technique coupled with semiconductor-like detectors, as silicon carbide and diamond, is one of the most promising diagnostic methods for high-energy, high…
Design of the ELIMAIA ion collection system
F. Schillaci, G. A. P. Cirrone, G. Cuttone +17
A system of permanent magnet quadrupoles (PMQs) is going to be realized by INFNLNS to be used as a collection system for the injection of laser driven ion beams up to 60 AMeV in an…
Assessment of the reliability of Deconvolution Procedures for RCF Spectroscopy of Laser-Driven Ion Beams
S. McCallum, G. Milluzzo, M. Borghesi +2
Laser-driven ion beams are defined by a number of unique features, including a large spread in energy. A stack configuration of radiochromic film (RCF) can be utilized to character…
Geant4 simulation of the ELIMED transport and dosimetry beam line for high-energy laser-driven ion beam multidisciplinary applications
G. Milluzzo, J. Pipek, A. G. Amico +11
The ELIMED (MEDical and multidisciplinary application at ELI Beamlines) beam line is being developed at INFN-LNS with the aim of transporting and selecting in energy proton and ion…
Nuclear fusion enhances cancer cell killing efficacy in a protontherapy model
GAP Cirrone, L Manti, D Margarone +10
Protontherapy is hadrontherapy fastest-growing modality and a pillar in the battle against cancer. Hadrontherapy superiority lies in its inverted depth-dose profile, hence tumour-c…
