FLASH radiotherapy with carbon ion beams [PDF]
AbstractFLASH radiotherapy is considered a new potential breakthrough in cancer treatment. Ultra‐high dose rates (>40 Gy/s) have been shown to reduce toxicity in the normal tissue without compromising tumor control, resulting in a widened therapeutic window.

Quasi-monoenergetic carbon ions generation from a double-layer target driven by extreme laser pulses
High quality energetic carbon ions produced via laser-plasma have many applications in tumor therapy, fast ignition and warm dense matter generation. However, the beam achieved in current experiments is still limited by either a large energy spread or a ...

Collisionless shock acceleration of quasi-monoenergetic ions in ultra-relativistic regime [PDF]
Collisionless shock acceleration of carbon ions (C$^{6+}$) is investigated in the ultra-relativistic regime of laser-plasma interaction by accounting for the radiation reaction force and the pair production in particle-in-cell simulations. Both radiation

Background: The present study is aimed at calculating relative absorbed-dose energy response correction (R) of commonly used thermoluminescent dosimeters (TLDs) such as LiF, Li2B4O7, and Al2O3 as a function of depth in water for protons (50–250 MeV/n ...

Simulations of stable compact proton beam acceleration from a two-ion-species ultrathin foil
We report stable laser-driven proton beam acceleration from ultrathin foils consisting of two ion species: heavier carbon ions and lighter protons. Multi-dimensional particle-in-cell (PIC) simulations show that the radiation pressure leads to very fast ...

Carbon-doped ZnO: A New Class of Room Temperature Dilute Magnetic Semiconductor [PDF]
We report magnetism in carbon doped ZnO. Our first-principles calculations based on density functional theory predicted that carbon substitution for oxygen in ZnO results in a magnetic moment of 1.78 $\mu_B$ per carbon.

Atmospheric CO2 consumption by continental erosion : present-day controls and implications for the last glacial maximum [PDF]
The export of carbon from land to sea by rivers represents a major link in the global carbon cycle. For all principal carbon forms, the main factors that control the present-day fluxes at the global scale have been determined in order to establish global

Determination of carbonate ion by ion chromatography.
Determination of carbonate ion by ion chromatography was investigated. The separation was performed on a TSKgel IC-Anion-PWXL (4.6 mm i.d.×35 mm) with boric acid-ethylenediamine buffer. The influence of the eluent pH on the capacity factors of carbonate and some inorganic anions was studied.

Generation of quasi-monoenergetic protons from thin multi-ion foils by a combination of laser radiation pressure acceleration and shielded Coulomb repulsion [PDF]
We study theoretically and numerically the acceleration of protons by a combination of laser radiation pressure acceleration and Coulomb repulsion of carbon ions in a multi-ion thin foil made of carbon and hydrogen.
