A new method for ideal dose distribution of two adjacent fields for external beam radiation therapy
Abstract Background: Adjacent treatment fields are commonly used in external beam radiation therapy, such as mantle and inverted-Y fields for the treatment of Hodgkin’s disease and craniospinal fields used in the treatment of medulloblastoma and head and neck tumors when the lateral neck fields are placed adjacent to the anterior supraclavicular field. In each of these situations, there is a p...
متن کاملLaser-Driven Very High Energy Electron/Photon Beam Radiation Therapy in Conjunction with a Robotic System
We present a new external-beam radiation therapy system using very-high-energy (VHE) electron/photon beams generated by a centimeter-scale laser plasma accelerator built in a robotic system. Most types of external-beam radiation therapy are delivered using a machine called a medical linear accelerator driven by radio frequency (RF) power amplifiers, producing electron beams with an energy range...
متن کاملa very first low - energy beta - beam
We describe the importance of having low-energy (10-100 MeV) neutrino beams produced through the decay of boosted radioactive ions (“beta-beams”). We focus on the interest for neutrino-nucleus interaction studies and their impact for astrophysics, nuclear and particle physics. In particular, we discuss the relation to neutrinoless double-beta decay. Finally, we mention the status as far as the ...
متن کاملPolarimeters and Energy Spectrometers for the ILC Beam Delivery System∗
This article gives an overview of current plans and issues for polarimeters and energy spectrometers in the Beam Delivery System of the ILC. It is meant to serve as a useful reference for the Detector Letter of Intent documents currently being prepared.
متن کاملHigh Energy Beam-beam Effects in Clic
In order to achieve high luminosity, the Compact Linear Collider (CLIC) has to be operated in the highbeamstrahlung regime at centre-of-mass energies in the few TeV range. Beam-beam effects for this case are simulated. The dependence of luminosity, luminosity spectrum and background conditions on the different beam parameters is investigated. In particular the effect of beam size, waist shift a...
