Metal additive manufacturing for particle accelerator applications
/ Romano, Tobia (Milan, Polytech. ; Riga Tech. U.) ; Pikurs, Guntis (CERN ; Riga Tech. U.) ; Ratkus, Andris (Riga Tech. U.) ; Torims, Toms (CERN ; Riga Tech. U.) ; Delerue, Nicolas (IJCLab, Orsay) ; Vretenar, Maurizio (CERN) ; Stepien, Lukas (Fraunhofer Inst., Dresden) ; López, Elena (Fraunhofer Inst., Dresden) ; Vedani, Maurizio (Milan, Polytech.)
Metal additive manufacturing technologies are rapidly becoming an integral part of the advanced technological portfolio for the most demanding industrial applications. These processes are capable of fabricating three-dimensional components with near-net shape quality by depositing the constituent materials in a layer-by-layer fashion. [...]

Innovations in the Next Generation Medical Accelerators for Therapy with Ion Beams
/ Benedetto, E (Unlisted, CH) ; Vretenar, M (CERN)
Modern hadron-therapy accelerators have to provide high intensity beams for innovative dose-delivery modalities such as FLASH, pencil beams for 3D scanning, as well as multiple ions with radio-biological complementarity. They need to be compact, cheap and have a reduced energy footprint. [...]

MACHINA, the Movable Accelerator for Cultural Heritage In-situ Non-destructive Analysis: project overview
/ Taccetti, F (INFN, Florence) ; Castelli, L (INFN, Florence) ; Chiari, M (INFN, Florence) ; Czelusniak, C (INFN, Florence) ; Falciano, S (INFN, Rome ; GSSI, Aquila) ; Fedi, M (INFN, Florence) ; Giambi, F (INFN, Florence ; Florence U.) ; Mandò, P A (INFN, Florence ; Florence U.) ; Manetti, M (INFN, Florence) ; Massi, M (INFN, Florence) et al.
Over the years, transportable instrumentation for cultural heritage (CH) in situ measurements has noticeably widespread, due to logistic, economical and safety reasons. Ion beam analysis, a powerful set of analytical techniques, of great importance for CH, is instead carried out by using fixed instrumentation. [...]

Conceptual design of a compact synchrotron-based facility for cancer therapy and biomedical research with helium and proton beams
/ Vretenar, M (CERN) ; Angoletta, M E (CERN) ; Borburgh, J (CERN) ; Bottura, L (CERN) ; Taylor, R (CERN) ; Tranquille, G (CERN) ; Benedetto, E (Unlisted, CH) ; Torims, T (Latvia U., ISSP) ; Paļskis, K (Latvia U., ISSP) ; Sapinski, M (PSI, Villigen) et al.
Thanks to their superior dose conformality and higher radiobiological effectiveness with respect to protons, helium ions are considered as the new tool of choice in the fight against cancer using particle beams. A facility to produce helium beams at therapeutical energy can also accelerate protons, at energies permitting both standardised treatment and full body radiography, and heavier ions for treatment of shallow tumours and for research.
