The FLASH effect designates normal tissue sparing at ultra-high dose rate (UHDR,> 40
Gy/s) compared to conventional dose rate (∼ 0.1 Gy/s) irradiation while maintaining tumour …

The use of very high-energy electrons (VHEEs) with energies in the range of 100-250 MeV
has recently garnered significant attention for use in radiotherapy. VHEE beams manifest …

This paper presents the first demonstration of deeply penetrating dose delivery using
focused very high energy electron (VHEE) beams using quadrupole magnets in Monte Carlo …

Abstract At the Photo Injector Test facility at DESY in Zeuthen (PITZ), an R&D platform for
electron FLASH and very high energy electron radiation therapy and radiation biology is …

Different therapies are adopted for the treatment of deep seated tumours in combination or
as an alternative to surgical removal or chemotherapy: radiotherapy with photons (RT) …

Simple Summary The development of innovative approaches that would reduce the
sensitivity of healthy tissues to irradiation while maintaining the efficacy of the treatment on …

Photocathodes are key elements in high-brightness electron sources and ubiquitous in the
operation of large-scale accelerators, although their operation is often limited by their …

Background Ultra‐high dose‐rate (UHDR) irradiations (> 40 Gy/s) have recently garnered
interest in radiotherapy (RT) as they can trigger the so‐called “FLASH” effect, namely a …

Monte Carlo (MC) methods employ a statistical approach to evaluate complex mathematical
models that lack analytical solutions and assess their uncertainties. To this end, techniques …

We review current dosimetry practices for non-standard radiotherapy sources. We classify
radiotherapy sources as established, variations of established, or novel. Our review …
