Charged particle therapy has been largely driven and influenced by nuclear physics. The
increase in energy deposition density along the ion path in the body allows reducing the …

Theoretical prediction shows that about 9000 nuclei could be bounded, of which the
properties will be hot topics in the new nuclear physics era opened by the new third …

The purpose of this paper is twofold. First, we present the extension of the Liège intranuclear-
cascade model to reactions induced by light ions. We describe here the ideas upon which …

In Charged Particle Therapy (PT) proton or 12C beams are used to treat deep-seated solid
tumors exploiting the advantageous characteristics of charged particles energy deposition in …

The use and interest in Monte Carlo (MC) techniques in the field of medical physics have
been rapidly increasing in the past years. This is the case especially in particle therapy …

The helium (4 He) component of the primary particles in the galactic cosmic ray spectrum
makes significant contributions to the total astronaut radiation exposure. 4 He ions are also …

In carbon therapy, the interaction of the incoming beam with human tissue may lead to the
production of a large amount of nuclear fragments and secondary light particles. An accurate …

Context. High-precision data from AMS-02 on Li, Be, and B provide the best constraints on
Galactic cosmic-ray transport parameters. Aims. We re-evaluate the impact of Fe …

A detailed knowledge of the light ions interaction processes with matter is of great interest in
basic and applied physics. As an example, particle therapy and space radioprotection …

A new semi-empirical parameterization for residue cross sections in spallation reactions is
presented. The prescription named SPACS, for spallation cross sections, permits calculating …
