Hybrid Active-Passive Galactic Cosmic Ray Simulator: in-silico design and optimization
Luca Lunati, Enrico Pierobon, Uli Weber +4
High-energy heavy-ion particle accelerators have long served as proxies for the harsh space radiation environment, enabling both fundamental life-science research and applied testi…
Hybrid Active-Passive Galactic Cosmic Ray Simulator: experimental implementation and microdosimetric characterization
Enrico Pierobon, Luca Lunati, Tim Wagner +2
Space radiation is one of the major obstacles to space exploration. If not mitigated, radiation can interact both with biological and electronic systems, inducing damage and posing…
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…
First image-guided treatment of a mouse tumor with radioactive ion beams
Daria Boscolo, Giulio Lovatti, Olga Sokol +16
Radioactive ion beams (RIB) are a key focus of current research in nuclear physics. Already long ago it was proposed that they could have applications in cancer therapy. In fact, w…
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
The fragmentation cross sections of carbon ion beams with kinetic energies of impinging on thin targets of graphite (C), polyvinyl-toluene (CH)…
