Preliminary results in using Deep Learning to emulate BLOB, a nuclear interaction model
A. Ciardiello, M. Asai, B. Caccia +10
Purpose: A reliable model to simulate nuclear interactions is fundamental for Ion-therapy. We already showed how BLOB ("Boltzmann-Langevin One Body"), a model developed to simulate…
Neutrino physics with the PTOLEMY project: active neutrino properties and the light sterile case
PTOLEMY collaboration, M. G. Betti, M. Biasotti +54
The PTOLEMY project aims to develop a scalable design for a Cosmic Neutrino Background (CNB) detector, the first of its kind and the only one conceived that can look directly at th…
A Design for an Electromagnetic Filter for Precision Energy Measurements at the Tritium Endpoint
M. G. Betti, M. Biasotti, A. Bosca +48
We present a detailed description of the electromagnetic filter for the PTOLEMY project to directly detect the Cosmic Neutrino Background (CNB). Starting with an initial estimate f…
PTOLEMY: A Proposal for Thermal Relic Detection of Massive Neutrinos and Directional Detection of MeV Dark Matter
E. Baracchini, M. G. Betti, M. Biasotti +48
We propose to achieve the proof-of-principle of the PTOLEMY project to directly detect the Cosmic Neutrino Background (CNB). Each of the technological challenges described in [1,2]…
Cluster formation in nuclear reactions from mean-field inhomogeneities
P. Napolitani, M. Colonna, C. Mancini-Terracciano
Perturbing fluids of neutrons and protons (nuclear matter) may lead, as the most catastrophic effect, to the rearrangement of the fluid into clusters of nucleons. A similar process…
Use of bremsstrahlung radiation to identify hidden weak beta- sources: feasibility and possible use in radio-guided surgery
D. Carlotti, F. Collamatii, R. Faccinii +11
The recent interest in beta- radionuclides for radio-guided surgery derives from the feature of the beta radiation to release energy in few millimeters of tissue. Such feature can…
Feasibility of the Radio-Guided Surgery with a Variety of Radio-Nuclides of Interest to Nuclear Medicine
Carlo Mancini-Terracciano, Raffaella Donnarumma, Gaia Bencivenga +16
The based radio-guided surgery overcomes the corresponding technique in case the background from healthy tissues is relevant. It can be used only in case a radio-tracer m…
Secondary radiation measurements for particle therapy applications: nuclear fragmentation produced by He ion beams in a PMMA target
M. Marafini, R. Paramatti, D. Pinci +19
Nowadays there is a growing interest in Particle Therapy treatments exploiting light ion beams against tumors due to their enhanced Relative Biological Effectiveness and high space…
Secondary radiation measurements for particle therapy applications: Charged secondaries produced by 4He and 12C ion beams in a PMMA target at large angle
A. Rucinski, E. De Lucia, G. Battistoni +18
Measurements performed with the purpose of characterizing the charged secondary radiation for dose release monitoring in particle therapy are reported. Charged secondary yields, en…
Design of a new tracking device for on-line dose monitor in ion therapy
Giacomo Traini, Giuseppe Battistoni, Angela Bollella +22
Charged Particle Therapy is a technique for cancer treatment that exploits hadron beams, mostly protons and carbons. A critical issue is the monitoring of the dose released by the…
Secondary radiation measurements for particle therapy applications: prompt photons produced by He, C and O ion beams in a PMMA target
Ilaria Mattei, Francesco Collamati, Erika De Lucia +18
Charged particle beams are used in Particle Therapy (PT) to treat oncological patients due to their selective dose deposition in tissues and to their high biological effect in kill…
An Intraoperative Detecting Probe For Radio-Guided Surgery in Tumour Resection
Andrea Russomando, Fabio Bellini, Valerio Bocci +16
The development of the based radio-guided surgery aims to extend the technique to those tumours where surgery is the only possible treatment and the assessment of the resecti…
Extended calibration range for prompt photon emission in ion beam irradiation
F. Bellini, T. T. Boehlen, M. P. W. Chin +18
Monitoring the dose delivered during proton and carbon ion therapy is still a matter of research. Among the possible solutions, several exploit the measurement of the single photon…
Measurement of the neutrino velocity with the OPERA detector in the CNGS beam using the 2012 dedicated data
The OPERA Collaboration, T. Adam, N. Agafonova +168
In spring 2012 CERN provided two weeks of a short bunch proton beam dedicated to the neutrino velocity measurement over a distance of 730 km. The OPERA neutrino experiment at the u…
Noise correlation and decorrelation in arrays of bolometric detectors
C. Mancini-Terracciano, M. Vignati
Bolometers are phonon mediated detectors used in particle physics experiments to search for rare processes, such as neutrinoless double beta decay and dark matter interactions. The…
