PAPRICA: The Pair Production Imaging Chamber—Proof of Principle
Frontiers in Physics, 2021 In Particle Therapy, safety margins are applied around the tumor to account for the beam range uncertainties and ensure an adequate dose coverage of the tumor volume during the therapy.

The FOOT experiment: current status and future perspective for nuclear fragmentation studies in particle therapy and space radiation protection [PDF]
EPJ Web of Conferences, 2022 Nuclear fragmentation processes occurring in the beam-target interaction represent a potential source of hazard for humans’ health both in particle therapy and space exploration.

Tumour therapy with particle beams [PDF]
AIP Conference Proceedings, 2000 Photons are exponentially attenuated in matter producing high doses close to the surface. Therefore they are not well suited for the treatment of deep seated tumours. Charged particles, in contrast, exhibit a sharp increase of ionisation density close to the end of their range, the so-called Bragg-peak.

Radioactive Beams for Image-Guided Particle Therapy: The BARB Experiment at GSI [PDF]
Frontiers in Oncology, 2021 Several techniques are under development for image-guidance in particle therapy. Positron (β+) emission tomography (PET) is in use since many years, because accelerated ions generate positron-emitting isotopes by nuclear fragmentation in the human body.

Develop a high energy proton beam position monitor using linear contact image sensor
MethodsX, 2020 A compact beam-position monitor was constructed using a linear contact image sensor attached to a plastic scintillator and tested using a 230 MeV proton beam. The results indicate that the beam position can be obtained in real-time, and the beam position

Radioactive Beams in Particle Therapy: Past, Present, and Future [PDF]
Frontiers in Physics, 2020 Heavy ion therapy can deliver high doses with high precision. However, image guidance is needed to reduce range uncertainty. Radioactive ions are potentially ideal projectiles for radiotherapy because their decay can be used to visualize the beam.

A Review of Boron Neutron Capture Therapy: Its History and Current Challenges
, 2022 MECHANISM OF ACTION: External beam, whether with photons or particles, remains as the most common type of radiation therapy. The main drawback is that radiation deposits dose in healthy tissue before reaching its target.

A Single-Particle Trigger for Time-of-Flight Measurements in Prompt-Gamma Imaging
Frontiers in Physics, 2020 Tracking of single particles accelerated by synchrotrons is a subject that crosses several physics fields. The high clinical intensities used in particle therapy that can exceed 109 p/s make this task very challenging. The tracking of the arrival time of
