Irradiations at Ultra High Dose Rate (UHDR) regimes, exceeding 40 Gy/s in single fractions lasting less than 200 ms, have shown an equivalent antitumor effect compared to conventional radio-therapy with reduced harm to normal tissues. This work detai

Variation of the relative biological effectiveness with fractionation in proton therapy: analysis of prostate cancer response

Autor: Pardo-Montero, Juan, Pombar, Miguel, Gómez-Caamaño, Antonio, Giordanengo, Simona, González-Crespo, Isabel

Purpose: To present a methodology to analyze the variation of RBE with fractionation from clinical data of tumor control probability (TCP) and to apply it to study the response of prostate cancer to proton therapy. M&M: We analyzed the dependence of

Data acquisition system for a 146-channel counter of protons in particle therapy

Autor: Giordanengo, S., Abujami, M., Galeone, C., Garbolino, S., Villarreal, O. A. Martì, Milian, F. Mas, Mazza, G., Mignone, M., Vignati, A., Wheadon, R., Cirio, R., Monaco, V., Sacchi, R.

A prototype of proton counter was developed by the University and the National Institute for Nuclear Physics of Torino to be used as online fluence beam monitor in particle therapy. The single particle identification approach aims at increasing the s

Radiation and Scattering of EM Waves in Large Plasmas Around Objects in Hypersonic Flight

Autor: Scarabosio, A., Quijano, J. L. Araque, Tobon, J., Righero, M., Giordanengo, G., DAmbrosio, D., Walpot, L., Vecchi, G.

Hypersonic flight regime is conventionally defined for Mach larger than 5; in these conditions, the flying object becomes enveloped in a plasma. This plasma is densest in thin surface layers, but in typical situations of interest it impacts electroma
