Prompt Gamma Timing for range verification with carbon ion irradiation: first experimental measurements and comparison with Geant4 Monte Carlo simulations
Iram Barbaro Rivas Ortiz, Sahar Ranjbar, Piergiorgio Cerello +14
Prompt Gamma Timing (PGT) is a promising technique for in vivo range verification in particle therapy, exploiting the time-of-flight between primary particles and prompt gamma rays…
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…
Characterization of a modified clinical linear accelerator for ultra-high dose rate electron beam delivery
Umberto Deut, Aurora Camperi, Cristiano Cavicchi +15
Irradiations at Ultra High Dose Rate (UHDR) regimes, exceeding 40 Gy/s in single fractions lasting less than 200 ms, have shown an equivalent antitumor effect compared to conventio…
Variation of the relative biological effectiveness with fractionation in proton therapy: analysis of prostate cancer response
Juan Pardo-Montero, Miguel Pombar, Antonio Gómez-Caamaño +2
Purpose: To present a methodology to analyze the variation of RBE with fractionation from clinical data of tumor control probability (TCP) and to apply it to study the response of…
A Compensated Design of the LGAD Gain Layer
Valentina Sola, Roberta Arcidiacono, Patrick Asenov +21
In this contribution, we present an innovative design of the Low-Gain Avalanche Diode (LGAD) gain layer, the p implant responsible for the local and controlled signal multiplic…
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…
Data acquisition system for a 146-channel counter of protons in particle therapy
S. Giordanengo, M. Abujami, C. Galeone +10
A prototype of proton counter was developed by the University and the National Institute for Nuclear Physics of Torino to be used as online fluence beam monitor in particle therapy…
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…
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.…
Dose Delivery Concept and Instrumentation
Simona Giordanengo, Marco Donetti
Radiation therapy aims to deliver the prescribed amount of dose to a tumour at the same time as sparing the surrounding tissues as much as possible. In charged particle therapy, de…
Properties of HPK UFSD after neutron irradiation up to 6e15 n/cm2
Z. Galloway, V. Fadeyev, P. Freeman +27
In this paper we report results from a neutron irradiation campaign of Ultra-Fast Silicon Detectors (UFSD) with fluences of 1e14, 3e14, 6e14, 1e15, 3e15, 6e15 n/cm2. The UFSD used…
