FLUKA: performances and applications in the intermediate energy range
/ Fasso, A (CERN) ; Ferrari, A (INFN, Milan) ; Ranft, J (INFN, Milan) ; Sala, Paola Raffaella (INFN, Milan)
The FLUKA Monte Carlo code has been recently improved in the low and in the intermediate energy range. New physical models have been implemented concerning both hadronic and electromagnetic interactions, and neutron transport has been extended to thermal energies. [...]

The interactions of cosmic rays with the solar atmosphere produce secondary particle which can reach the Earth. In this work we present a comprehensive calculation of the yields of secondary particles as gamma-rays, electrons, positrons, neutrons and neutrinos performed with the FLUKA code. [...]

The beam lines design for the CERN neutrino platform in the CERN north area and an outlook on their expected performance
/ Charitonidis, N (CERN) ; Brugger, M (CERN) ; Efthymiopoulos, I (CERN) ; Gatignon, L (CERN) ; Karyotakis, Y (Annecy, LAPP) ; Sala, P R (CERN ; INFN, Italy) ; Nowak, E (CERN ; AGH-UST, Cracow) ; Ortega-Ruiz, I (CERN ; Ecole Polytechnique, Lausanne)
In the framework of the CERN Neutrino Platform project, extensions to the existing SPS North Area secondary beam lines “H2” and “H4”, able to provide low-energy charged particles in the momentum range from 0.4 to 12 GeV/c, have been designed. The parameters of these “very low energy” beam lines, the expected beam composition as seen by the experiments as well as an outlook on their expected performance are summarized in this paper. [...]

A phenomenological relative biological effectiveness approach for proton therapy based on an improved description of the mixed radiation field
/ Mairani, A (CNAO Foundation, Pavia ; HIT, Heidelberg) ; Dokic, I (HIT, Heidelberg ; Heidelberg, Inst. Radiology) ; Magro, G (CNAO Foundation, Pavia) ; Tessonnier, T (Munich U. ; Heidelberg, Inst.

Radiology) et al.
Proton therapy treatment planning systems (TPSs) are based on the assumption of a constant relative biological effectiveness (RBE) of 1.1 without taking into account the found in vitro experimental variations of the RBE as a function of tissue type, linear energy transfer (LET) and dose. The phenomenological RBE models available in literature are based on the dose-averaged LET (LET D ) as an indicator of the physical properties of the proton radiation field. [...]

Biologically optimized helium ion plans: calculation approach and its in vitro validation

Treatment planning studies on the biological effect of raster-scanned helium ion beams should be performed, together with their experimental verification, before their clinical application at the Heidelberg Ion Beam Therapy Center (HIT). For this purpose, we introduce a novel calculation approach based on integrating data-driven biological models in our Monte Carlo treatment planning (MCTP) tool. [...]

Compton Cameras emerged as an alternative for real-time dose monitoring techniques for Particle Therapy (PT), based on the detection of prompt-gammas. As a consequence of the Compton scattering process, the gamma origin point can be restricted onto the surface of a cone (Compton cone). [...]
