Measurements of the micro-spill structure of medical cyclotron and synchrotron beams and its impact on pulse pileup
Matthias Knopf, Simon Waid, Stefan Gundacker +10
Detector characterization and instrumentation testing are often performed at cyclotron and synchrotron facilities, many of which were originally developed for medical applications…
Characterizing the Delivered Spill Structure of Medical Proton and Carbon-Ion Beams at MedAustron using a High Frequency Silicon Carbide Readout
Matthias Knopf, Andreas Gsponer, Matthias Kausel +7
Medical synchrotrons are often used for testing instrumentation in high-energy physics or non-clinical research in medical physics. In many applications of medical synchrotrons, su…
Exploring Offline Pileup Correction to Improve the Accuracy of Microdosimetric Characterization in Clinical Ion Beams
Matthias Knopf, Sandra Barna, Daniel Radmanovac +3
Microdosimetry investigates the energy deposition of ionizing radiation at microscopic scales, beyond the assessment capabilities of macroscopic dosimetry. This contributes to an u…
Microdosimetry of a clinical carbon-ion pencil beam at MedAustron -- Part 1: experimental characterization
Cynthia Meouchi, Sandra Barna, Anatoly Rosenfeld +3
This paper characterizes the microdosimetric spectra of a single-energy carbon-ion pencil beam at MedAustron using a miniature solid-state silicon microdosimeter to estimate the im…
Microdosimetry in ion-beam therapy: studying and comparing outcomes from different detectors
Giulio Magrin
Experimental studies of microdosimetry in therapeutic ion beams have been performed using several detectors. The differences among them lie on the shapes, the site sizes, and the m…
Cyclinacs: Fast-Cycling Accelerators for Hadrontherapy
U. Amaldi, S. Braccini, A. Citterio +11
We propose an innovative fast-cycling accelerator complex conceived and designed to exploit at best the properties of accelerated ion beams for hadrontherapy. A cyclinac is compose…
