The performance of the muon identification in LHCb is extracted from data using muons and
hadrons produced in J/ψ→ μ+ μ−, Λ 0→ pπ− and D⋆+→ π+ D 0 (K− π+) decays. The muon …

The radiation used in hadrontherapy treatments interacts with the patient body producing
secondary particles, either neutral or charged, that can be used for dose and Bragg peak …

A novel radioguided surgery (RGS) technique for cerebral tumors using β − radiation is
being developed. Checking for a radiotracer that can deliver a β − emitter to the tumor is a …

The background induced by the high penetration power of the radiation is the main limiting
factor of the current radio-guided surgery (RGS). To partially mitigate it, a RGS with β + -…

The FIRST (Fragmentation of Ions Relevant for Space and Therapy) experiment at the SIS
accelerator of GSI laboratory in Darmstadt has been designed for the measurement of ion …

Charged particle beams are used in particle therapy (PT) to treat oncological patients due to
their selective dose deposition in tissues with respect to the photons and electrons used in …

Different therapies are adopted for the treatment of deep seated tumours in combination or
as an alternative to surgical removal or chemotherapy: radiotherapy with photons (RT), …

In particle therapy, the uncertainty of the delivered particle range during the patient irradiation
limits the optimization of the treatment planning. Therefore, an in vivo treatment verification …

Organic scintillators are often chosen as radiation detectors for their fast decay time and their
low Z, while inorganic ones are used when high light yields are required. In this paper we …

Tumour control is performed in particle therapy using particles and ions, whose high
irradiation precision enhances the effectiveness of the treatment, while sparing the healthy …
