Measurement of $^{12}$C Fragmentation Cross Sections on C, O, and H in the Energy Range of Interest for Particle Therapy Applications
/ Mattei, I ; Alexandrov, A ; Alunni Solestizi, L ; Ambrosi, G ; Argiro, S ; Bartosik, N ; Battistoni, G ; Belcari, N ; Biondi, S ; Bisogni, M G et al.
In a carbon ion treatment the nuclear fragmentation of both target and beam projectiles impacts on the dose released on the tumor and on the surrounding healthy tissues. Carbon ion fragmentation occurring inside the patient body has to be studied in order to take into account this contribution. [...]

(INFN, Milan) ; Belcari, N. (Pisa U. ; INFN, Pisa) et al.
In hadron therapy, the accelerated ions, interacting with the body of the patient, cause the fragmentation of both projectile and target nuclei. The fragments interact with the human tissues depositing energy both in the entrance channel and in the volume surrounding the tumor. [...]

Measurement of charged particle yields from PMMA irradiated by a 220 MeV/u12Cbeam
/ Piersanti, L (Frascati ; U. Rome La Sapienza (main)) ; Bellini, F (Rome U. ; INFN, Rome) ; Bini, FU. Rome La Sapienza (main) ; Collamati, F (Rome U. ; INFN, Rome) ; De Lucia, E (Frascati) ; Durante, M (Darmstadt, GSI) ; Faccini, R (Rome U. ; INFN, Rome) ; Ferroni, F (Rome U. ; INFN, Rome) ; Fiore, S (Rome U.) ; Iarocci, E (Frascati ; U. Rome La Sapienza (main)) et al.
The radiation used in hadrontherapy treatments interacts with the patient body producing secondary particles, either neutral or charged, that can be used for dose and Bragg peak monitoring and to provide a fast feedback on the treatment plans. Recent results obtained from the authors on simplified setups (mono-energetic primary beams interacting with homogeneous tissue like target) have already indicated the correlation that exists between the flux of these secondaries coming from the target (e.g. [...]

The FIRST (Fragmentation of Ions Relevant for Space and Therapy) experiment at GSI has been designed to study carbon fragmentation, measuring (12)C double differential cross sections (- (2)I /- - E) for different beam energies between 100 and 1000 MeV/u. The experimental setup integrates newly designed detectors in the, so called, Interaction Region around the graphite target. [...]
