Masses of Hadrons, Tetraquarks, and Pentaquarks Through a Tsallis-Entropy Approach in the MIT Bag Model. [PDF]
Entropy (Basel)We propose a new approach to describe hadrons and new forms of quark matter in the MIT bag model. The proposal is an extension that integrates a Tsallis nonextensive statistics description of quarks and gluons and is shown to capture the main features ...

We Need the Largest Experiments on Earth to Achieve Our Climate Targets. [PDF]
Glob Chang BiolNatural Climate Solutions (NCS) are the climate mitigation sector with the largest potential, yet the least investment. A major barrier to scaling NCS is lack of evidence‐based scientific learning at the scale of actual interventions. To overcome this gap, we propose the world’s largest field experiments, supported by a global data‐sharing platform and

Development and dosimetric verification of static SHArc: Step-and-shoot carbon ion arc therapy for LET<sub>d</sub> escalation in pancreatic tumors. [PDF]
Med PhysAbstract Background Carbon ion radiotherapy (CIRT) offers higher linear energy transfer (LET) and superior relative biological effectiveness, making it a promising option for treating hypoxic, radioresistant tumors. Spot‐scanning Hadron Arc (SHArc) therapy enables dose‐averaged LET (LETd) escalation in the tumor but increases planning and setup ...

Out-of-field neutron radiation from clinical proton, helium, carbon, and oxygen ion beams. [PDF]
Med PhysAbstract Background In hadron therapy, out‐of‐field doses, which may in the long‐term cause secondary cancers, are mostly due to neutrons. Very recently, 4He and 16O beams have been added to protons and 12C ions for clinical therapy. Purpose The focus of this article is to compare secondary neutron doses produced by clinical protons, 4He, 12C, and 16O ...

Status of the hyperon-nucleon interaction in chiral effective field theory [PDF]
EPJ Web of Conferences, 2022 The Jülich-Bonn group aims at an extensive study of the baryonbaryon (BB) interaction involving strange baryons (Λ, Σ, Ξ) within SU(3) chiral effective field theory.

Estimating the Number of Patients Eligible for Carbon Ion Radiotherapy in the United States [PDF]
International Journal of Particle Therapy, 2020 Purpose: Carbon ion radiotherapy (CIRT) is an emerging radiotherapy modality with potential advantages over conventional photon-based therapy, including exhibiting a Bragg peak and greater relative biological effectiveness, leading to a higher degree of ...

Ʌ-Hypernuclear States as Dihadronic Molecules
Atom Indonesia, 2023 The study of exotic hypernuclei attracts a great deal of interest in nuclear physics. The reality of heavy hyperon hypernuclei is the subject of intense concern among theoreticians and experimenters in recent years. The core-hyperon model uses to explain

Clinical Radiobiology of Fast Neutron Therapy: What Was Learnt?
Frontiers in Oncology, 2020 Neutron therapy was developed from neutron radiobiology experiments, and had identified a higher cell kill per unit dose and an accompanying reduction in oxygen dependency. But experts such as Hal Gray were sceptical about clinical applications, for good

Identifying MaaS schemes that maximise economic benefits through an economic appraisal
European Journal of Transport and Infrastructure Research, 2022 Mobility-as-a-Service (MaaS) is a new concept of transport mobility where various mobility services such as public transport, taxi and sometimes rideshare services are offered as a bundle with subscription payment.
