Using a radiopharmaceutical production cyclotron for radiobiological research
Eva Kasanda, Jan Gruber, Pierluigi Casolaro +8
The Laboratory for High Energy Physics and the Institute of Anatomy at the University of Bern are establishing a pre-clinical proton therapy research facility at the Bern Universit…
First observation of the fine structure of the Pygmy Dipole Resonance in a nucleus away from stability via the decay of Rb to Sr
P. Spagnoletti, M. Ramalho, S. Tahtela +52
A comprehensive -ray spectroscopy study of excited states in Sr populated via decay of Rb (, ~keV) was performed with the GRIFFIN spect…
Development of a Proton Therapy Research Beamline with FLASH and Minibeam Capabilities at the 18 MeV Bern Medical Cyclotron
Eva Kasanda, Lars Eggiman, Thierry Stammbach +10
Advanced radiotherapy approaches such as FLASH irradiation and spatially fractionated radiotherapy (SFRT) show potential to improve the therapeutic ratio, yet their biological mech…
Non-Destructive Beam Monitoring via Secondary Radiation Detection with Ce-Doped Silica Fibers
Alexander Gottstein, Pierluigi Casolaro, Gaia Dellepiane +7
Non-destructive beam diagnostics are essential for low-energy medical cyclotrons, where even thin interceptive devices can severely degrade beam quality. We investigate an external…
Beam Energy Measurement using a Bayesian Approach with the Stacked Foil Method
Alexander Gottstein, Lorenzo Mercolli, Eva Kasanda +7
We present a practical method to measure the energy of proton beams at a medical cyclotron using the stacked foil technique in combination with a Bayesian inference method. By meas…
First Direct Measurement of an Astrophysical p-Process Reaction Cross Section Using a Radioactive Ion Beam
G. Lotay, S. A. Gillespie, M. Williams +35
We have performed the first direct measurement of the 83Rb(p,g) radiative capture reaction cross section in inverse kinematics using a radioactive beam of 83Rb at incident energies…
Intra- and Inter-Fraction Relative Range Verification in Heavy-Ion Therapy Using Filtered Interaction Vertex Imaging
Devin Hymers, Eva Kasanda, Vinzenz Bildstein +5
Heavy-ion therapy, particularly using scanned (active) beam delivery, provides a precise and highly conformal dose distribution, with maximum dose deposition for each pencil beam a…
GEANT4 simulation of a new range verification method using delayed gamma spectroscopy of a Mo-92 marker
Eva Kasanda, Christine Burbadge, Vinzenz Bildstein +4
In this work, we propose a novel technique for in-vivo proton therapy range verification. This technique makes use of a small hadron tumour marker, Mo, implanted at a short…
