FOOT (FragmentatiOn On Target) is an applied nuclear physics experiment designed
for measuring with high precision the production cross sections of nuclear fragments for
energies, beams and targets relevant in particle therapy and radioprotection in space. Mea-
suring the characteristics (yield, charge, energy, angle) of nuclear fragments is important for
understanding the physical and biological eects of particle beams in the human body.

A key element of the FOOT experiment is the E-TOF system, designed to identify
the charge and velocity of nuclear fragments produced in particle collisions in thin targets.
The system is made of a start counter and a planar thin plastic scintillator detector, the
latter constructed in Pisa. Together they provide the velocity and deposited energy of the
fragments.

In this contribution, the initial motivations, current status, and future of the FOOT
experiment will be presented. Hereby we highlight the contributions of the Pisa group to
the experiment.
