A novel radioguided surgery technique exploiting $β^{-}$ decays
E. Solfaroli Camillocci, G. Baroni, F. Bellini +20
The background induced by the high penetration power of the gamma radiation is the main limiting factor of the current Radio-guided surgery (RGS). To partially mitigate it, a RGS w…
Charged particle's flux measurement from PMMA irradiated by 80 MeV/u carbon ion beam
C. Agodi, G. Battistoni, F. Bellini +22
Hadrontherapy is an emerging technique in cancer therapy that uses beams of charged particles. To meet the improved capability of hadrontherapy in matching the dose release with th…
Secondary radiation measurements for particle therapy applications: nuclear fragmentation produced by He ion beams in a PMMA target
M. Marafini, R. Paramatti, D. Pinci +19
Nowadays there is a growing interest in Particle Therapy treatments exploiting light ion beams against tumors due to their enhanced Relative Biological Effectiveness and high space…
Precise measurement of prompt photon emission for carbon ion therapy
C. Agodi, F. Bellini, G. A. P. Cirrone +19
Proton and carbon ion therapy is an emerging technique used for the treatment of solid cancers. The monitoring of the dose delivered during such treatments is still a matter of res…
New method for clustering thresholds determination in Microstrip Silicon Detector

Properties of para-terphenyl as detector for alpha, beta and gamma radiation
M. Angelone, G. Battistoni, F. Bellini +19
Organic scintillators are often chosen as radiation detectors for their fast decay time and their low Z, while inorganic ones are used when high light ields are required. In this p…
