Accelerators for Charged Particle Therapy: Performance Criteria from the User Point of View
The introduction of charged particle therapy in the hospitals could provide substantial improvements to external radiation therapy for cancer treatment. Many different types of accelerators have been proposed for installation in the hospitals, all with their own merits and disadvantages. In this report we discuss the requirements posed by charged particle therapy on the quality of the beam deli...
متن کاملCharged-Particle (Proton or Helium Ion) Radiation Therapy - 02/12
Charged-particle beams consisting of protons or helium ions are a type of particulate radiation therapy. They contrast with conventional electromagnetic (i.e., photon) radiation therapy due to several unique properties including minimal scatter as particulate beams pass through tissue, and deposition of ionizing energy at precise depths (i.e., the Bragg peak). Thus, radiation exposure of surrou...

متن کاملAccelerators Development for Intraoperative Radiation Therapy
The "Intra Operative Radiation Therapy" (IORT) consists in delivering a single high dose on a tumour bed soon after surgery resection. The "IORT Project", funded by the Italian Ministry of Research (MURST), was started in 1998 from ENEA (Italian National Agency for New Technologies, Energy and the Environment) and is aimed to design and construct two innovative IORT systems (named IORT-1 and IO...
متن کاملRadiation reaction for a massless charged particle
We derive effective equations of motion for a massless charged particle coupled to the dynamical electromagnetic field having regard to the radiation back reaction. It is shown that unlike the massive case not all the divergences resulting from the self-action of the particle are Lagrangian, i.e. can be canceled out by adding appropriate counterterms to the original action. Besides, the order o...
