When subatomic physics research meets clinical oncology [PDF]
Bulletin of the World Health Organization, 2012 New but costly forms of hadron therapy to treat certain cancers raise important questions about how much health systems can afford to pay, but for some cancers, including many child cancers, they are among the most promising treatments we have.

Organ-specific low-dose assessment in pediatric radiotherapy using nanodot OSL and NTCP modeling: Application to medulloblastoma. [PDF]
J Appl Clin Med PhysAbstract Background In pediatric radiotherapy, controlling low‐dose exposure is a major challenge, particularly in the treatment of medulloblastoma, where the long life expectancy of young patients makes optimization of radioprotection crucial. Purpose This study provides a comprehensive and quantitative assessment of low‐dose exposure to normal ...

Instabilities of heavy magnons in an anisotropic magnet
Nature Communications, 2023 The search for new elementary particles is one of the most basic pursuits in physics, spanning from subatomic physics to quantum materials. Magnons are the ubiquitous elementary quasiparticle to describe the excitations of fully-ordered magnetic systems.

The role of scientific research on nuclear radiation waste management and preserving environment [PDF]
E3S Web of Conferences, 2021 On the level of this article, we deal with nuclear radiation (and their residues), which is defined as a physical phenomenon and strong atomic activity that occurs in unstable atoms of elements.

Growth and characterization of thorium-doped calcium fluoride single crystals
Scientific Reports, 2023 We have grown $$^{232}$$ 232 Th:CaF $$_2$$ 2 and $$^{229}$$ 229 Th:CaF $$_2$$ 2 single crystals for investigations on the VUV laser-accessible first nuclear excited state of $$^{229}$$ 229 Th, with the aim of building a solid-state nuclear clock.

3D printed magnets for neutron spin manipulation [PDF]
EPJ Web of Conferences, 2019 Devices for manipulation of the neutron spin are vital for experiments in neutron optics such as neutron interferometry. Here we introduce a new type of such devices which are based on a magnetic material that can be 3D printed in complex shapes. We have
