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…
Mechanistic driven TCP and NTCP modeling for particle therapy accounting for a broad range of physical irradiation parameters and tissue environmental conditions
Marco Battestini, Jules Morand, Giulio Bordieri +3
In conventional radiotherapy, the probability of controlling tumor growth is quantified using Tumor Control Probability (TCP) models. Instead, the probability of experiencing a sid…
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…
A combined dose and microdosimetric modeling framework incorporating volume effects correlates with tissue sparing in proton minibeam radiotherapy
Giulio Bordieri, Marco Battestini, Gianluca Lattanzi +4
Proton minibeam (pMB) radiotherapy, delivers highly heterogeneous dose distributions alternating high-dose peaks and low-dose valleys. This aims to widen the therapeutic window by…
The Biologically Effective Particle Number Ratio (BPNR): a new framework to quantify the therapeutic window in SFRT and other modalities
Niels Bassler, Giuseppe Schettino, Hugo Palmans +4
Spatially Fractionated Radiation Therapy (SFRT) produces highly heterogeneous dose distributions, for which conventional metrics such as peak, valley, or average dose can yield amb…
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…
