Hadron therapy allows for highly conformal dose distributions and better sparing of organs-
at-risk, thanks to the characteristic dose deposition as function of depth. However, the quality …

Positron emission particle tracking (PEPT) is a technique which allows the high-resolution,
three-dimensional imaging of particulate and multiphase systems, including systems which …

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 …

Four different reactions, S 32+ C 12 and Ne 20+ C 12 at 25 and 50 MeV/nucleon, have been
measured with the FAZIA detector capable of full isotopic identification of most forward …

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 …

Recently, it has been proposed that a mixed helium/carbon beam could be used for online
monitoring in carbon ion beam therapy. Fully stripped, the two ion species exhibit …

Abstract 12 C ion therapy has had growing interest in recent years for its excellent dose
conformity. However at therapeutic energies, which can be as high as 400 MeV/u, carbon …

Background The increasing number of studies dealing with linear energy transfer (LET)‐
based evaluation and optimization in the field of carbon ion radiotherapy (CIRT) indicates …

Proton therapy as a promising candidate in cancer treatment has attracted much attentions
and many studies have been performed to investigate the new methods to enhance its …
