CERN-based experiments and Monte-Carlo studies on focused dose delivery with very high energy electron (VHEE) beams for radiotherapy applications
/ Whitmore, L (Manchester U. ; Cockcroft Inst. Accel. Sci. Tech. ; Texas U., Houston) ; Mackay, R I (Manchester U.) ; van Herk, M (Manchester U.) ; Korysko, P (Oxford U. ; CERN) ; Farabolini, W (CERN) ; Malyzhenkov, A (CERN) ; Corsini, R (CERN) ; Jones, R M (Manchester U. ; Cockcroft Inst. Accel. Sci. Tech.)
Very High Energy Electron (VHEE) beams are a promising alternative to conventional radiotherapy due to their highly penetrating nature and their applicability as a modality for FLASH (ultra-high dose-rate) radiotherapy. The dose distributions due to VHEE need to be optimised; one option is through the use of quadrupole magnets to focus the beam, reducing the dose to healthy tissue and allowing for targeted dose delivery at conventional or FLASH dose-rates.

Beam-based commissioning of a novel X-band transverse deflection structure with variable polarization
/ González Caminal, P (DESY) ; Christie, F (DESY) ; D'Arcy, R (DESY) ; Jaster-Merz, S M (DESY) ; Assmann, R (DESY) ; Burkart, F (DESY) ; Conrad, B (DESY) ; Dinter, H (DESY) ; Foese, M (DESY) ; Herrmann, J (DESY) et al.
Longitudinal electron-beam diagnostics play a critical role in the operation and control of x-ray free-electron lasers, which rely on parameters such as the current profile, the longitudinal phase space, or the slice emittance of the particle distribution. On the one hand, the femtosecond-scale electron bunches produced at these facilities impose stringent requirements on the resolution achievable with the diagnostics. [...]

A collaboration between DESY, PSI and CERN has been established to develop and build an advanced modular X- band transverse deflection structure (TDS) system with the new feature of providing variable polarization of the deflecting force. The prototype of the novel X-band TDS, the Polarizable X-band (PolariX) TDS, was fabricated at PSI following the high-precision tuning-free production process developed for the C-band Linac of the SwissFEL project.

The PolariX TDS (Polarizable X-Band Transverse Deflection Structure) is an innovative TDS-design operating in the X-band frequency-range. The design gives full control of the streaking plane, which can be tuned in order to characterize the projections of the beam distribution onto arbitrary transverse axes. [...]

This paper presents the first plasmid DNA irradiations carried out with Very High Energy Electrons (VHEE) over 100–200 MeV at the CLEAR user facility at CERN to determine the Relative Biological Effectiveness (RBE) of VHEE. DNA damage yields were measured in dry and aqueous environments to determine that ~ 99% of total DNA breaks were caused by indirect effects, consistent with other published measurements for protons and photons.
