Influence of Space Weather on Single Event Effects in Aviation When Employing Modern Commercial Sub‐100 nm Electronic Devices

Space Weather, Volume 24, Issue 11, November 2026.
Abstract During November 2025 thousands of commercial aircraft (Airbus A320s) had to be grounded due to the risk of ionizing radiation effects on the avionics system. Safety‐critical systems continue to use modern commercial devices, and therefore an understanding of their responses within enhanced radiation environments is crucial to ensure reliable ...

Carbon ion radiotherapy of hepatocellular carcinoma provides excellent local control: The prospective phase I PROMETHEUS trial

JHEP Reports
Background & Aims: Inoperable hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) can be treated by stereotactic body radiotherapy. However, carbon ion radiotherapy (CIRT) is more effective for sparing non-tumorous liver. High linear energy transfer could promote therapy

Helium-3 and helium-4 acceleration by high power laser pulses for hadron therapy

Physical Review Special Topics. Accelerators and Beams, 2015
The laser driven acceleration of ions is considered a promising candidate for an ion source for hadron therapy of oncological diseases. Though proton and carbon ion sources are conventionally used for therapy, other light ions can also be utilized ...

A Review of the Australian MRI Linac Program: From Pie in the Sky to Research Milestone

Journal of Medical Imaging and Radiation Oncology, Volume 70, Issue 5, Page 477-486, August 2026.
ABSTRACT The Australian Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) Linear Accelerator program (MRI linac) was a major research project that aimed to build and test a unique MRI linac prototype for cancer treatment. It aimed to improve radiotherapy anatomical targeting and explore physiological targeting. The purpose of this report is to summarise the development

Study of prompt gamma and neutron emission for real‐time range verification in proton and carbon‐ion therapy

Medical Physics, Volume 53, Issue 7, July 2026.
Abstract Background Accurate range verification is crucial in hadrontherapy to fully exploit the ballistic advantages of charged particles and prevent damage to healthy tissues. Among the proposed approaches, prompt gamma imaging (PGI) has emerged as an effective technique for real‐time monitoring, but its performance is limited by the intense neutron ...
