Background Motion monitoring is essential when treating non-static tumours with pencil beam scanned protons. 4D medical imaging typically relies on the detected body surface displacement, considered as a surrogate of the patient's anatomical changes, a ...

Extending the Frontiers - Reconciling Accelerator and Cosmic Ray p-p Cross Sections [PDF]
We simultaneously fit a QCD-inspired parameterization of all accelerator data on forward proton-proton and antiproton-proton scattering amplitudes, together with cosmic ray data (using Glauber theory), to predict proton-air and proton-proton cross sections at energies near \sqrt s \approx 30 TeV.

Proton-air and proton-proton cross sections [PDF]
Different attempts to measure hadronic cross sections with cosmic ray data are reviewed. The major results are compared to each other and the differences in the corresponding analyses are discussed. Besides some important differences, it is crucial to see that all analyses are based on the same fundamental relation of longitudinal air shower ...

Abstract We calculate proton-proton Bremsstrahlung cross sections using the Tabakin separable potentials to generate off-shell nucleon-nucleon t-matrix elements in low partial waves and off-shell one-pion-exchange amplitudes for the higher partial waves.

Cross sections for pentaquark baryon production from protons in reactions induced by hadrons and photons [PDF]
Using hadronic Lagrangians that include the interaction of pentaquark $\Theta^+$ baryon with $K$ and $N$, we evaluate the cross sections for its production from meson-proton, proton-proton, and photon-proton reactions near threshold. With empirical coupling constants and form factors, the predicted cross sections are about 1.5 mb in kaon-proton ...

Large-angle production of charged pions with 3-12.9 GeV/c incident protons on nuclear targets [PDF]
Measurements of the double-differential charged pion production cross-section in the range of momentum 100 MeV/c < p < 800 MeV/c and angle 0.35 < \theta < 2.15 rad in proton-beryllium, proton-carbon, proton-aluminium, proton-copper, proton-tin, proton-tantalum and proton-lead collisions are presented.

The rate of the proton-proton reaction
We re-evaluate the matrix element for the proton-proton reaction which is important for stellar-evolution calculations and for the solar-neutrino problem. We self-consistently determine the effect of vacuum polarization on the matrix element by first correcting the low-energy scattering data to account for vacuum polarization.
