Benchmarking of FLUKA production cross sections of positron emission tomography isotopes for in-vivo range verification in hadron therapy
/ Aricò, Giulia (CERN) ; Battistoni, Giuseppe (INFN, Milan ; TIFPA-INFN, Trento) ; Cerutti, Francesco (CERN) ; Horst, Felix (Darmstadt, GSI ; Mittelhessen U., Giessen) ; Mairani, Andrea (HITS, Heidelberg ; pavia cnao) ; Schuy, Christoph (Darmstadt, GSI) ; Weber, Uli (Darmstadt, GSI) ; Ferrari, Alfredo (CERN)
Protons and carbon ions have been extensively used for radiotherapy treatments, and in comparison to conventional radiotherapy, they allow a more conformal dose to the target tumor, especially in case of deep-seated tumors. However, the accuracy of hadron therapy treatments is affected by uncertainties in the particle range calculations. [...]

The FOOT FragmentatiOn Of Target Experiment
/ Alexandrov, Andrey (INFN, Naples) ; Alpat, Behcet (INFN, Perugia) ; Ambrosi, Giovanni (INFN, Perugia) ; Argirò, Stefano (Turin U. ; INFN, Turin) ; Battistoni, Giuseppe (INFN, Milan) ; Bisogni, Maria Giuseppina (Pisa U. ; INFN, Pisa) ; Belcari, Nicola (Pisa U. ; INFN, Pisa) ; Biondi, Silvia (INFN, Bologna ; Bologna U.) ; Bruni, Graziano (INFN, Bologna) ; Camarlinghi, Niccolò (Pisa U. ; INFN, Pisa) et al.
In proton-therapy clinical practice a constant RBE equal to 1.1 is adopted, regardless of the demonstrated RBE variations, which depends on physical and biological parameters. Among other mechanisms, nuclear interactions might influence the proton-RBE due to secondary heavier particles produced by target fragmentation that can significantly contribute to the total dose: an un-wanted and undetermined increase of normal tissues complications probability may occur.

INSIDE in-beam positron emission tomography system for particle range monitoring in hadrontherapy
/ Bisogni, Maria Giuseppina (U. Pisa (main)) ; Attili, Andrea (U. Turin (main)) ; Battistoni, Giuseppe (INFN, Italy) ; Belcari, Nicola (U. Pisa (main)) ; Camarlinghi, Niccoló (U. Pisa (main)) ; Cerello, Piergiorgio (INFN, Italy) ; Coli, Silvia (INFN, Italy) ; Del Guerra, Alberto (U. Pisa (main)) ; Ferrari, Alfredo (CERN) ; Ferrero, Veronica (U. Turin (main)) et al.
The quality assurance of particle therapy treatment is a fundamental issue that can be addressed by developing reliable monitoring techniques and indicators of the treatment plan correctness. Among the available imaging techniques, positron emission tomography (PET) has long been investigated and then clinically applied to proton and carbon beams. [...]

Monte Carlo (MC) codes are increasingly spreading in the hadrontherapy community due to their detailed description of radiation transport and interaction with matter. The suitability of a MC code for application to hadrontherapy demands accurate and reliable physical models capable of handling all components of the expected radiation field. [...]
