21. Development of beam monitors for Ultra High Dose Rate Radiotherapy

The paradigm of radiation therapy is the optimization of the therapeutic ratio, i.e. striking a balance between effectively damaging malignant tissue and preserving surrounding healthy tissue. Among the most promising developments are the treatment modalities exploiting the FLASH effect, a normal tissue sparing effect demonstrated in electron and proton irradiations at ultra-high dose-rate...

24. Exploiting the possibility to produce high flux proton minibeams

56. FlashDC, a fluorescence based beam monitor for ultra-high dose rates

Thanks to the expertise coming from over twenty years of dosimetric and clinical experience gained from operating the CATANA and zero-degree proton therapy beamlines at INFN-LNS, we propose the establishment of a multidisciplinary in-air irradiation facility at the newly operating INFN-LNL cyclotron, which can deliver protons with energies up to 70 MeV and currents ranging between 20 nA and 50...
