In treatment planning for hadron therapy, information about the relative stopping power in a patient's body is used to calculate the range of incident ions. This information is obtained from computed tomography (CT) images using a conversion table from x-ray CT numbers into stopping powers relative to the stopping power of water.

MODELING OF HEAVY-ION COLLISIONS AT THE RELATIVISTIC HEAVY-ION COLLIDER
International Journal of Modern Physics E, 2007The first five years of RHIC operations at √ sNN = 130 GeV and √ sNN = 200 GeV have yielded a vast amount of interesting and sometimes surprising results , many of which have not yet been fully evaluated or understood by theory. There exists mounting evidence that RHIC has created a hot and dense state of deconfined QCD matter with properties similar ...

The future of heavy ion radiotherapy
Medical Physics, 2008Currently, there is an increasing interest in heavy ion radiotherapy (RT) and a number of new facilities are being installed in Europe and Japan. This development is accompanied by intensive technical, physical, and clinical research. The authors identify six research fields where progress is likely and propose a thesis on the expected achievements for

Heavy ion experiments at the relativistic heavy ion collider
Nuclear Instruments and Methods in Physics Research Section A: Accelerators, Spectrometers, Detectors and Associated Equipment, 2002Abstract Heavy Ion experiments at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider at Brookhaven National Laboratory are designed to search for signatures of quark-gluon plasma and enhance our understanding of the behaviour of strongly interacting matter under extreme conditions. RHIC, as the first dedicated heavy ion collider facility, can collide Au–Au beams at

In vivo radiobiology of heavy ions
International Journal of Radiation Oncology*Biology*Physics, 1982The radiobiology of heavy charged particles has been investigated with various animal systems in vivo at the Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory using the helium beam from the 184" synchrocyclotron and the carbon, neon, and argon beams from the BEVALAC. Tumor experiments were carried out using the R1 sarcoma in rats and the EMT6 mouse mammary carcinoma ...

Acceleration of Heavy Ions at the Bevatron
Science, 1971Substantial beams of deuterons, α-particles, and nitrogen ions have been accelerated to high energies (nitrogen to 36 billion electron volts) in the bevatron. Beams of various energies were successfully extracted for experimental use. Modifications of the ion source, the injector, and the main acceleration system made the production of high-energy ...

Mutation induction by heavy ions
Advances in Space Research, 1994Mutation induction by heavy ions is compared in yeast and mammalian cells. Since mutants can only be recovered in survivors the influence of inactivation cross sections has to be taken into account. It is shown that both the size of the sensitive cellular site as well as track structure play an important role.

On the Energy Loss of Heavy Ions
Physical Review, 1941The energy loss of heavy ions is due to collisions with electrons and with nuclei. The first process is essentially determined by the ionic charge, which in turn depends on the ratio of the velocities of the most loosely bound electron within the ion, and of the ion.

Treatment planning with heavy ions
Radiation and Environmental Biophysics, 1995The use of heavy charged particles in radiotherapy potentially represents an advance towards better local tumour control and a decrease in morbidity related to radiation injury of healthy tissues surrounding the target volume. This assertion only holds, however, if treatment planning systems give a real representation of the three-dimensional dose ...

Heavy ions: Report from Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider
Pramana, 2012We review selected highlights from the experiments at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) exploring the QCD phase diagram. A wealth of new results appeared recently from RHIC due to major recent upgrades, like for example the Υ suppression in central nucleus–nucleus collisions which has been discovered recently in both RHIC and LHC. Furthermore,
