/ Amaldi, Ugo (TERA, Novara) ; Benedetto, Elena (TERA, Novara) ; Damjanovic, Sanja (Unlisted, CH) ; Dosanjh, Manjit (CERN) ; Durante, Marco (Darmstadt, GSI ; Darmstadt, Tech. U.) ; Georgieva, Petya (TERA, Novara) ; Haberer, Thomas (HITS, Heidelberg) ; Plesko, Mark (Cosylab, Ljubljana) ; Ristova, Mimoza (CERN ; Skopje U.) ; Rossi, Sandro (Unlisted, IT) et al.
The South East European International Institute for Sustainable Technologies (SEEIIST) was
proposed in 2016 at the World Academy of Art and Science, with the objective of building a
facility for charged particle cancer therapy for the South Eastern European countries. SEEIIST
will offer the world-class research needed to reduce or even revert the brain drain that is causing
a shortage of talent and economic losses in South East Europe. [...]

Dosimetric validation of Monte Carlo and analytical dose engines with raster-scanning $^1$H, $^4$He, $^{12}$C, and $^{16}$O ion-beams using an anthropomorphic phantom
/ Mein, Stewart (NCRO, Heidelberg ; Heidelberg U. Hospital ; DKFZ, Heidelberg) ; Kopp, Benedikt (Heidelberg U. Hospital ; Heidelberg U. ; DKFZ, Heidelberg) ; Tessonnier, Thomas (Centre Francois Baclesse, Caen) ; Ackermann, Benjamin (Heidelberg U. Hospital) ; Ecker, Swantje (Heidelberg U. Hospital) ; Bauer, Julia (Heidelberg U. Hospital) ; Choi, Kyungdon (CNAO, Pavia) ; Aricò, Giulia (CERN) ; Ferrari, Alfredo (CERN) ; Haberer, Thomas (Heidelberg U. Hospital) et al.
With high-precision radiotherapy on the rise towards mainstream healthcare, comprehensive validation procedures are essential, especially as more sophisticated technologies emerge. In preparation for the upcoming
translation of novel ions, case-/disease-specific ion-beam selection and advanced multi-particle treatment
modalities at the Heidelberg Ion-beam Therapy Center (HIT), we quantify the accuracy limits in particle therapy
treatment planning under complex heterogeneous conditions for the four ions ($^1$H, $^4$He, $^{12}$C, $^{16}$O) using a Monte
Carlo Treatment Planning platform (MCTP), an independent GPU-accelerated analytical dose engine developed
in-house (FRoG) and the clinical treatment planning system (Syngo RT Planning). [...]

Towards a Common Reliability & Availability Information System for Particle Accelerator Facilities
/ Höppner, Klaus (HITS, Heidelberg) ; Gutleber, Johannes (CERN) ; Haberer, Thomas (HITS, Heidelberg) ; Humer, Heinrich (TU Vienna) ; Niemi, Arto (CERN) ; Pasic, Kemal (HITS, Heidelberg) ; Peters, Andreas (HITS, Heidelberg)
Failure event and maintenance record based data collection systems have a long tradition in industry. Today, the particle accelerator community does not possess a common platform that permits storing and sharing reliability and availability information in an efficient way. [...]

Measurement of $^4$He charge- and mass-changing cross sections on H, C, O, and Si targets in the energy range 70–220 MeV/u for radiation transport calculations in ion-beam therapy
/ Horst, Felix (Giessen U. ; Darmstadt, GSI) ; Aricò, Giulia (CERN) ; Brinkmann, Kai-Thomas (U. Giessen, II. Phys. Inst.) ; Brons, Stephan (Heidelberg U.) ; Ferrari, Alfredo (CERN) ; Haberer, Thomas (Heidelberg U.) ; Mairani, Andrea (Heidelberg U. ; CNAO, Pavia) ; Parodi, Katia (Munich U.) ; Reidel, Claire-Anne (Darmstadt, GSI ; Strasbourg, IPHC) ; Weber, Uli (Darmstadt, GSI) et al.
Measured charge- and mass-changing cross sections for the systems He4+C12, He4+O16, He4+Si28, and He4+H1 in the energy range 70–220MeV/u are presented. The cross sections were obtained via the attenuation method where a ΔE-E scintillator telescope was used for particle identification. [...]

Hospital Heidelberg) ; Djosanjh, Manjit (CERN) ; Pötter, Richad (AKH Wien) ; Orrechia, Roberto (Istituto Europeo di Oncologia, Milan) ; Haberer, Thomas (HIT, Heidelberg) ; Durante, Marco (GSI, Darmstadt) ; Fossati, Piero (CNAO, Pavia) ; Parodi, Katia (Munich U.) ; Balosso, Jacques (GCS-ETOILE, Lyon) ; Amaldi, Ugo (CERN) et al.
Since the middle of the 20th century, particle therapy has been in focus for patient treatments. In 1946, Robert Wilson proposed the use of charged particles for tumor therapy, and since then, the clinical use of protons and heavier ions, mainly carbon ions, has become more widespread. [...]
