Measurement of 80-200 MeV/n O nuclear cross-section on Carbon and Polyethylene targets with the nuclear emulsion detector of the FOOT experiment
FOOT Collaboration, Giuliana Galati, Vincenzo Boccia +93
Accurate knowledge of nuclear fragmentation cross-sections is essential for optimizing charged particle therapy. In this study, conducted within the framework of the FOOT (Fragment…
New method for clustering thresholds determination in Microstrip Silicon Detector
S. Mazzolani, I. Mattei, L. Servoli
The Microstrip Silicon Detector (MSD) is one of the subsystems of the FragmentatiOn Of Target (FOOT) experiment whose goal is to measure double differential nuclear fragmentation c…
Online Dose Verification in VHEE Radiotherapy Using Bremsstrahlung Radiation
Francesco Urso, Pietro Carra, Esther Ciarrocchi +2
Very high energy electrons (VHEE) in the 50-250 MeV range, delivered in short pulses at ultra-high dose rates, are proposed for clinical FLASH radiotherapy (RT) targeting deep-seat…
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…
Radionuclide Production for Dose Verification in VHEE FLASH Radiotherapy
Francesco Urso, Federica Baffigi, Esther Ciarrocchi +7
This study explores the production of radionuclides in a PMMA (Polymethylmethacrylate) phantom irradiated with Very High Energy Electrons (VHEE) beams as a novel method for dose ve…
Cross Section Measurements of Large Angle Fragments Production in the Interaction of Carbon Ion Beams with Thin Targets
The FOOT Collaboration, Y. Dong, I. Mattei +87
