Charged Particle Therapy with Mini-Segmented Beams
One of the fundamental attributes of proton therapy and carbon ion therapy is the ability of these charged particles to spare tissue distal to the targeted tumor. This significantly reduces normal tissue toxicity and has the potential to translate to a wider therapeutic index. Although, in general, particle therapy also reduces dose to the proximal tissues, particularly in the vicinity of the t...
متن کاملDirect charged-particle measurements with stable beams
A number of examples for direct measurements in nuclear astrophysics are given in order to address several important issues. First, recent results for the 16O(p,γ)17F reaction are discussed and it is shown how an improvement in reaction rate precision allows for significantly improved astrophysical predictions in connection with massive AGB stars. Second, we discuss improved experimental techni...
متن کاملCancer Therapy with Particle Beams
Particle beams, i.e. proton or ion beams, have a depth dose distribution with a maximum at the end of the particle track, which makes them exceptionally useful for radiosurgery, especially cancer treatment. This article gives a short summary of different types of radiation and points out the advantages of particle beams. It will then cover basic aspects of the theoretical description before exp...
متن کاملTumour Therapy with Particle Beams
Photons are exponentially attenuated in matter producing high doses close to the surface. Therefore they are not well suited for the treatment of deep seated tumours. Charged particles, in contrast, exhibit a sharp increase of ionisation density close to the end of their range, the so-called Bragg-peak. The depth of the Bragg-peak can be adjusted by varying the particle’s energy. In parallel wi...
متن کاملSynthetic-diamond detectors for charged-particle beams dosimetry
Hadron cancer-therapy with high-energetic heavy-ions (HI) as available at the SIS facility at GSI Darmstadt [1] as well as the research with beams stopped in biological material as realized at the UNILAC at GSI in general require the precise knowledge of beam conditions and its composition as well as the applied dose within less than 1% in most cases. At these sites beam preparation, its applic...
