This paper reviews our recent findings on the dynamics of transport baryon number in proton-induced reactions at CERN SPS. These are put a more general context present understanding stopping phenomena up to LHC and cosmic ray energies. The implications studies, advantages be provided by modern high quality experimental data, perspectives new measurements shortly discussed.

The present work aims to develop a semi-analytical method to calculate the absorbed dose delivered by alpha particles in a cylindrical geometry. This method will be employed to reproduce the dose conversion coefficients or absorbed fraction of alpha particles in sensitive cells of the tracheobronchial tree obtained by NRC and ICRP, respectively. The difference caused by using water stopping pow...

The use of high-energy proton beams enables to delivering high doses to target volumes, while sparing organs at risk compared to X-ray radiotherapy. However, the protons advantages cannot be fully exploited because the range (i.e the stopping powers) of protons in matter is not accurately known. Indeed, the proton stopping powers are obtained by an empirical conversion of X-CT Hounsfield Units ...

Scanning-electron-beam lithography (SEBL) is the workhorse of nanoscale lithography in part because of the high brightness of the Schottky source of electrons, but also benefiting from decades of incremental innovation and engineering of apparatus around the Schottky source. Light ions are an attractive intermediary between electrons and heavy ions in terms of exposure efficiency and resolution...
