20/01/2012, 11:40Kaonic Hydrogen and Helium X-ray measurements play nowadays a fundamental role in testing the reliability of the Chiral Perturbation Theory as a different realisation of Quantum Chromodynamics at low energies. Dictated by both electromagnetic and strong interaction, X-ray transitions at lower energy levels of these complex bound systems offer indeed the unique opportunity to perform a...Go to contribution page

20/01/2012, 12:00Microbeam Radiation Therapy (MRT) uses an array of parallel microbeams in order to spare normal tissue and preferentially damage tumors. In this study, dose-distribution calculations for interleaved microbeam radiation therapy were performed with carbon ions, using the Monte Carlo code MCNPX. The dose was calculated in a rabbit head model to study brain-cancer treatment using ion microbeams....Go to contribution page

20/01/2012, 12:20Anomalous Long Term Effects in Astronaut’s Central Nervous System (ALTEA) is a helmet-shaped device holding six silicon particle detectors that has been used to measure the effect of the exposure of crewmembers to cosmic radiation on brain activity and visual perception, including astronauts’ perceptions of light flashes behind their eyelids as a result of high-energy radiation. Because of its...Go to contribution page

20/01/2012, 12:40On behalf of AGILE team, I present our work on cosmic-ray acceleration by the some Supernova Remnants, focusing on the SNR W44. Recent analyses suggest that several SNR observations can be understood in terms of hadrons accelerated in correspondence of the SNR forward shock. Until now, however, the leptonic contribution can not be definitely excluded. In the gamma energy band, Fermi/LAT...Go to contribution page
