Measurement of 12C Fragmentation Cross Sections on C, O, and H in the Energy Range of Interest for Particle Therapy Applications
/ Mattei, I ; Alexandrov, A ; Alunni Solestizi, L ; Ambrosi, G ; Argiro, S ; Bartosik, N ; Battistoni, G ; Belcari, N ; Biondi, S ; Bisogni, M G et al.
In a carbon ion treatment the nuclear fragmentation of both target and beam projectiles impacts on the dose released on the tumor and on the surrounding healthy tissues. Carbon ion fragmentation occurring inside the patient body has to be studied in order to take into account this contribution. [...]

Delivery, Beam and Range Monitoring in Particle Therapy in a Highly Innovative Integrated Design
/ Bottura, L (CERN) ; Felcini, E (CERN ; Ecole Polytechnique, Lausanne) ; Ferrero, V (INFN, Turin) ; Fiorina, E (INFN, Turin) ; Monaco, V (Turin U. ; INFN, Turin) ; Pennazio, F (INFN, Turin) ; de Rijk, G (CERN) ; Cerello, P (INFN, Turin)
The design of a particle therapy system that integrates an innovative beam delivery concept based on a static toroidal gantry and an imaging configuration suitable for beam and online range monitoring is proposed and discussed. Such approach would provide a compact and cost-effective layout, with a highly flexible and fast beam delivery, single particle counting capability for fast measurement of beam fluence and position and a precise real time verification of the compliance between the treatment delivery and its prescription.

In hadron therapy, the accelerated ions, interacting with the body of the patient, cause the fragmentation of both projectile and target nuclei. The fragments interact with the human tissues depositing energy both in the entrance channel and in the volume surrounding the tumor. [...]

The FOOT FragmentatiOn Of Target Experiment

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.

/OBELIX
The π+π−π0, K+K−π0 and K±K0π∓ final states produced by ˉpp annihilation at rest at three different hydrogen target densities have been analyzed in the frame of a coupled channel analysis together with ππ, πK and KˉK scattering data. The percentages of the different partial waves, the branching ratios and the parameters (masses, widths, ππ and KˉK partial widths) of all the involved resonances (JP=0+,1−,2+) have been measured.

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. [...]

Longitudinal asymmetry and its effect on pseudorapidity distributions in Pb-Pb collisions at √sNN = 2.76 TeV
/ ALICE Collaboration
First results on the longitudinal asymmetry and its effect on the pseudorapidity distributions in Pb-Pb collisions at √sNN = 2.76 TeV at the Large Hadron Collider are obtained with the ALICE detector. The longitudinal asymmetry arises because of an unequal number of participating nucleons from the two colliding nuclei, and is estimated for each event by measuring the energy in the forward neutron-Zero-Degree-Calorimeters (ZNs).

In ultrarelativistic heavy-ion collisions, the event-by-event variation of the elliptic flow v2 reflects fluctuations in the shape of the initial state of the system. This allows to select events with the same centrality but different initial geometry. [...]
