Toward High-Resolution Detection of Target Fragmentation: TEA-Sensitized NIT for Proton Therapy Applications
V. Boccia, T. Asada, A. Alexandrov +96
Nano Imaging Trackers (NIT) are fine-grained nuclear emulsions capable of tracking charged particles with sub-micrometric spatial resolution. The DAMON (Direct Measurement of Targe…
Stopping power monitoring during proton therapy by means of prompt gamma timing: first experimental results with a homogeneous phantom
Julius Werner, Francesco Pennazio, Piergiorgio Cerello +11
Proton therapy's full potential is limited by uncertainties that prevent optimal dose distribution. Monitoring techniques can reduce these uncertainties and enable adaptive treatme…
Angular differential and elemental fragmentation cross sections of a beam on a graphite target with the FOOT experiment
FOOT Collaboration, R. Ridolfi, M. Toppi +88
This paper presents the measurements of the angular differential cross sections for the forward production of He, Li, Be, B, C and N nuclei in the fragmentation process of a 400$\t…
The muon beam monitor for the FAMU experiment: design, simulation, test and operation
R. Rossini, G. Baldazzi, S. Banfi +35
FAMU is an INFN-led muonic atom physics experiment based at the RIKEN-RAL muon facility at the ISIS Neutron and Muon Source (United Kingdom). The aim of FAMU is to measure the hype…
Status of the detector setup for the FAMU experiment at RIKEN-RAL for a precision measurement of the Zemach radius of the proton in muonic hydrogen
R. Rossini, A. Adamczak, D. Bakalov +46
The FAMU experiment at RIKEN-RAL is a muonic atom experiment with the aim to determine the Zemach radius of the proton by measuring the 1s hyperfine splitting in muonic hydrogen. T…
Characterisation of a low-momentum high-rate muon beam monitor for the FAMU experiment at the CNAO-XPR beam facility
Riccardo Rossini, Roberto Benocci, Roberto Bertoni +17
The FAMU experiment aims at an indirect measurement of the Zemach radius of the proton. The measurement is carried out on muonic hydrogen atoms produced through the low-momentum (5…
Analysis methods for in-beam PET images in proton therapy treatment verification: a comparison based on Monte Carlo simulations
M. Moglioni, A. C. Kraan, A. Berti +13
Background and purpose: In-beam Positron Emission Tomography (PET) is one of the modalities that can be used for in-vivo non-invasive treatment monitoring in proton therapy. PET di…
Dosimetric commissioning and quality assurance of scanned ion beams at the Italian National Center for Oncological Hadrontherapy
Alfredo Mirandola, S. Molinelli, G. Vilches Freixas +9
Purpose: To describe the dosimetric commissioning and quality assurance (QA) of the actively scanned proton and carbon ion beams at the Italian National Center for Oncological Hadr…
The CNAO Dose Delivery System for modulated scanning ion beam radiotherapy
Simona Giordanengo, Maria Adelaide Garella, Flavio Marchetto +9
This paper describes the dose delivery system used at the Centro Nazionale di Adroterapia Oncologica (CNAO) for ion beam modulated scanning radiotherapy. CNAO Foundation, INFN and…
Advanced assessment of Beam Induced Background at a Muon Collider
Francesco Collamati, Camilla Curatolo, Donatella Lucchesi +4
Renewed international interest in muon colliders motivates the continued investigation of the impacts of beam-induced background on detector performance. This continues the effort…
Beam test characterisation of a Plastic Scintillator Prototype for the space-based cosmic ray experiment HERD
P. W. Cattaneo, M. Pullia, M. C. Prata +2
The High Energy cosmic-Radiation Detector (HERD) facility is planned to go onboard China's Space Station, planned to be operational starting in around 2025 for about 10 years. The…
A new detector for the beam energy measurement in proton therapy: a feasibility study
A. Vignati, S. Giordanengo, F. Mas Milian +14
Fast procedures for the beam quality assessment and for the monitoring of beam energy modulations during the irradiation are among the most urgent improvements in particle therapy.…
First tests for an online treatment monitoring system with in-beam PET for proton therapy
Aafke C. Kraan, G. Battistoni, N. Belcari +13
PET imaging is a non-invasive technique for particle range verification in proton therapy. It is based on measuring the beta+ annihilations caused by nuclear interactions of the pr…
Measurement of neutron detection efficiency between 22 and 174 MeV using two different kinds of Pb-scintillating fiber sampling calorimeters
M. Anelli, S. Bertolucci, C. Bini +22
We exposed a prototype of the lead-scintillating fiber KLOE calorimeter to neutron beam of 21, 46 and 174 MeV at The Svedberg Laboratory, Uppsala, to study its neutron detection ef…
