In the last years, our group has performed different radiation physics experiments from the fields of particle therapy and space radiation protection. This contribution will summarize briefly the conducted experiments and present the obtained results.
One experiment investigated the entrance channel of proton Bragg curves. The shape of the first few centimetres of a proton depth dose profile...
LIDAL is a detector designed to study the radiation flux and energy spectra in Low Earth Orbit, it is onboard the International Space Station (ISS) since January 2020. It has been developed coupling a TOF system, based on fast plastic scintillators read by PMTs, with the ALTEA subsystem, a series of silicon detector telescopes which already operated on the ISS between 2006 and 2012 (Zaconte et...
We discuss the experimental procedure and the results of an irradiation campaign on GAGG:Ce (Cerium-doped Gadolinium Aluminium Gallium Garnet) scintillator crystals, carried out in the framework of the HERMES-TP/SP (High Energy Rapid Modular Ensemble of Satellites --- Technological and Scientific Pathfinder) mission at the Trento Proton Therapy Centre (TPTC) during January 2019. Samples from...
