Measurement of $^{12}$C 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. [...]

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. [...]

Measuring Changes in the Atmospheric Neutrino Rate Over Gigayear Timescales
/ Jordan, Johnathon R. (Michigan U.) ; Baum, Sebastian (Stanford U. ; Stockholm U., OKC) ; Stengel, Patrick (Stockholm U., OKC) ; Ferrari, Alfredo (CERN) ; Morone, Maria Cristina (Rome U., Tor Vergata ; INFN, Rome) ; Sala, Paola (INFN, Milan) ; Spitz, Joshua (Michigan U.)
Measuring the cosmic ray flux over timescales comparable to the age of the solar system, $\sim 4.5\,$Gyr, could provide a new window on the history of the Earth, the solar system, and even our galaxy. We present a technique to indirectly measure the rate of cosmic rays as a function of time using the imprints of atmospheric neutrinos in paleo-detectors, natural minerals which record damage tracks from nuclear recoils.

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.

The FIRST (Fragmentation of Ions Relevant for Space and Therapy) experiment at GSI has been designed to study carbon fragmentation, measuring (12)C double differential cross sections (- (2)I /- - E) for different beam energies between 100 and 1000 MeV/u. The experimental setup integrates newly designed detectors in the, so called, Interaction Region around the graphite target. [...]

Performance of the ATLAS Trigger System in 2010
/ ATLAS Collaboration
Proton-proton collisions at $\sqrt{s}=7$ TeV and heavy ion collisions at $\sqrt{s_{NN}}$=2.76 TeV were produced by the LHC and recorded using the ATLAS experiment's trigger system in 2010. The LHC is designed with a maximum bunch crossing rate of 40 MHz and the ATLAS trigger system is designed to record approximately 200 of these per second [...]
