FLASH radiation therapy. FLASH radiation therapy may have profound implications in …

Conventional cancer therapies include surgery, radiation therapy, chemotherapy, and, more
recently, immunotherapy. These modalities are often combined to improve the therapeutic …

Purpose To demonstrate robustness of thermooacoustic range verification to acoustic
heterogeneity and discrepancies between assumed and true propagation speed, ie …

The development of high-gradient accelerating structures for low-β particles is the key for
compact hadron linear accelerators. A particular example of such a machine is a hadron …

Hadron therapy has been first proposed in 1946 by Robert Wilson as an advanced form of
radiotherapy. Hadrons, such as protons and light ions, release the largest part of their …

S-band high-gradient accelerating structures were proposed to accelerate protons from 30
to 230 MeV for a compact proton therapy linac in Institute of Modern Physics. A backward …

High-frequency linear accelerators are very suitable for carbon ion therapy, thanks to the
reduced operational costs and the high beam quality with respect to synchrotrons, which are …

Argonne National Laboratory (ANL) and the Department of Radiation and Cellular Oncology
at the University of Chicago (UChicago) are investigating the feasibility of developing an …

We report the high-gradient tests results of a novel traveling wave accelerating structure for
β= 0.3 based on a novel approach of operating at the first negative spatial harmonic …

The three most popular radiation oncology technologies are based on using beams of
photons, electrons, and hadrons (protons and heavy ions). Photon radiotherapy is currently …
