The physico-chemical and biological response to conventional and UHDR electron and
proton beams was investigated, along with conventional photons. The temporal structure …

The University Proton Therapy facility in Dresden (UPTD), Germany, is equipped with an
experimental room with a beamline providing a static pencil beam. High proton beam …

Background and purpose The FLASH effect has been validated in different preclinical
experiments with electrons (eFLASH) and protons (pFLASH) operating at an average dose …

Objective. FLASH radiation therapy with ultrahigh dose rates (UHDR) has the potential to
reduce damage to normal tissue while maintaining anti-tumor efficacy. However, rapid and …

Objective. This work aims at characterizing LiF: Mg, Ti thermoluminescence detectors (TLDs)
for dosimetry of a 250 MeV proton beam delivered at ultra-high dose rates (UHDR). Possible …

This review article synthesizes key findings from studies on the use of diamond dosimeters
in advanced radiotherapy techniques, showcasing their applications, challenges, and …

Objective. Laser plasma-based accelerators (LPAs) of protons can contribute to research of
ultra-high dose rate radiobiology as they provide pulse dose rates unprecedented at …

Ultra-high dose rate external beam radiotherapy (UHDR-RT) uses dose rates of several tens
to thousands of Gy/s, compared with the dose rate of the order of a few Gy/min for …

Purpose A better characterization of the dependence of the tissue sparing effect at ultra-high
dose rate (UHDR) on physical beam parameters (dose, dose rate, radiation quality) would …

Abstract Background A Faraday cup (FC) facilitates a quite clean measurement of the proton
fluence emerging from clinical spot‐scanning nozzles with narrow pencil‐beams. The …
