    The proton beam available through TIFPA at Adrontherapy Center in Trento has been used in the past years to characterize the Silicon Microstrip prototypes for the FOOT experiment.

    The FOOT (FragmentatiOn Of Target) experiment has a tracking subsystem, the MSD (Microstrip Silicon Detector), featuring three x-y coordinate measuring planes, each of which composed by two single-sided silicon...

    The FOOT (FragmentatiOn Of Target) experiment aims to perform systematic measurements of nuclear fragmentation cross sections in the energy range useful for particle therapy and space radioprotection. The experiment is designed to measure both projectile fragmentation of different nuclei (C, O, He) on C and CH targets, and also to extract target fragmentation cross sections in p-C and p-O...

    Organic scintillators are largely exploited in a wide range of detectors due to their capability to obtain very good time resolutions. Plastic scintillators are also relatively cheap, easy to manipulate and light (low density) with respect to conventional crystal scintillators. Traditionally they are exploited to perform very precise measurements ...

    In Particle Therapy (PT) the nuclear interactions between the beam projectiles and the nuclei of the volume under treatment produce a large amount of secondary particles which can escape from the patient body and/or interact with the patient itself. In carbon ion therapy, the detection of the secondary protons resulting from the ion beam fragmentation can be exploited to spot possible range...
