Hadron therapy is an advanced radiation modality for treating cancer, which currently uses protons and carbon ions. Hadrons allow for a highly conformal dose distribution to the tumour, minimising the detrimental side-effects due to radiation received by healthy tissues. [...]

Testing the Properties of Beam-Dose Monitors for VHEE-FLASH Radiation Therapy
/ Bateman, Joseph (JAI, UK) ; Burrows, Philip (JAI, UK) ; Corsini, Roberto (CERN) ; Dosanjh, Manjit (CERN) ; Dyks, Luke (JAI, UK) ; Farabolini, Wilfrid (CERN) ; Gerbershagen, Alexander (CERN) ; Heracleous, Natalie (CERN) ; Korysko, Pierre (CERN) ; Morales Vigo, Sara (CERN) et al.
Very High Energy Electrons (VHEE) of 50 - 250 MeV are an attractive choice for FLASH radiation therapy (RT). Before VHEE-FLASH RT can be considered for clinical use, a reliable dosimetric and beam monitoring system needs to be developed, able to measure the dose delivered to the patient in real-time and cut off the beam in the event of a machine fault to prevent overdosing the patient. [...]

An IoT LoRaWAN Network for Environmental Radiation Monitoring
/ Gallego Manzano, L (CERN ; Lausanne U.) ; Boukabache, Hamza (CERN) ; Danzeca, Salvatore (CERN) ; Heracleous, Natalie (CERN) ; Murtas, Fabrizio (CERN ; Frascati) ; Perrin, Daniel (CERN) ; Pirc, Vasja (CERN) ; Alfaro, Alejandro Ribagorda ; Zimmaro, Alessandro (CERN) ; Silari, Marco (CERN)
A reliable and highly scalable Internet of Things (IoT) end-to-end data infrastructure has been developed for environmental radiation monitoring at the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) based on a low-power wide-area network (LPWAN). The proposed system, called Waste radiation MONitoring (W-MON), consists of an interconnected network of thousands of highly sensitive and ultralow-power gamma radiation sensors acting as long range (LoRa) transceivers.

Radiation-induced effects in glass windows for optical readout GEM-based detectors
/ Oliveira, A. Maia (CERN ; Bern U., LHEP) ; Braccini, S. (Bern U., LHEP) ; Casolaro, P. (Bern U., LHEP) ; Heracleous, N. (CERN) ; Leidner, J. (CERN) ; Mateu, I. (Bern U., LHEP) ; Murtas, F. (CERN ; Frascati) ; Silari, M. (CERN)
In this paper we present irradiation measurements performed to select a transparent anode substrate that best meets the requirements of an optical readout for a novel detector, the LaGEMPix. The modification of the optical properties of the material due to proton irradiation were studied in soda-lime, fused quartz and fused silica glasses coated with an Indium Tin Oxide layer. [...]

A group of Early-Career Researchers (ECRs) has been given a mandate from the European Committee for Future Accelerators (ECFA) to debate the topics of the current European Strategy Update (ESU) for Particle Physics and to summarise the outcome in a brief document [1]. A full-day debate with 180 delegates was held at CERN, followed by a survey collecting quantitative input. [...]
