50. Nuclear Physics applications in Medicine: State of the Art

Francesco Tommasino (University of Trento - INFN TIFPA)

Medical applications of nuclear physics started to be part of INFN activities in the last couple of decades, and nowadays represent an important portion of funded research projects, especially in CSN V. In this context, the continuous development of charged particle therapy (CPT) represents a prolific scenario for the birth of a number of initiatives. On the one hand, CPT demands for...

65. The FOOT (Fragmentation of Target) experiment: an overview and first results

Matteo Morrocchi (University of Pisa, Department of Physics and Istituto Nazionale di Fisica Nucleare (Pisa))

The correct dose quantification in ion therapy is currently affected by limited knowledge of the double differential fragmentation cross-section of nuclei composing the biological tissue interacting with proton or carbon beams. Fragmentation of these nuclei generates ions with short range and high linear energy transfer, thus with high radiobiological effectiveness, out of the treatment...

51. Proton-induced nuclear reactions on natV and 49Ti for the theranostic 47Sc production: preliminary cross-section results

In recent years, as underlined by the IAEA CRP (Coordinated Research Project) on $^{67}$Cu, $^{47}$Sc, and $^{186}$Re (1), the scientific interest focused on $^{47}$Sc due to its theranostic characteristics making it exploitable both for therapeutic and diagnostic purposes. In fact, in its radioactive decay to the stable $^{47}$Ti, $^{47}$Sc (t$_{1/2}$=3.3492 d) emits γ-rays of the proper...

41. Nuclear Quantum Simulations on Quantum Computers in the Optimal Control Context

Piero Luchi (Istituto Nazionale di Fisica Nucleare)

One promising application of quantum computing consists in the simulation of quantum systems. The use of a device which is itself quantum should allow for a better management of the exponential scaling of time and memory resources needed to capture the details of quantum systems. Optimal control techniques provide a means to tailor control pulse sequences necessary for the generation of...
