Very-High-Energy Heavy Ion Beam Dosimetry Using Solid State Detectors for Electronics Testing
/ Waets, Andreas (CERN ; Zurich U.) ; Bilko, Kacper (CERN) ; Coronetti, Andrea (CERN) ; Emriskova, Natalia (CERN) ; Sacristan Barbero, Mario (CERN) ; García Alía, Rubén (CERN) ; Durante, Marco (Darmstadt, GSI) ; Schuy, Christoph (Darmstadt, GSI) ; Wagner, Tim (Darmstadt, GSI) ; Esposito, Luigi Salvatore (CERN) et al.
Very-high-energy (VHE), heavy ions are of particular interest for single event effects (SEEs) testing due to their combination of high linear energy transfer (LET) and high penetration within electronics components. The dosimetry of such beams poses an important challenge for facilities aiming to provide VHE ions for radiation effects testing. [...]

Fragmented High-Energy Heavy-Ion Beams for Electronics Testing
/ García Alía, Rubén (CERN) ; Bilko, Kacper (CERN ; Lab. Hubert Curien, St. Etienne) ; Cerutti, Francesco (CERN) ; Coronetti, Andrea (CERN ; IES, Montpellier) ; Emriskova, Natalia (CERN) ; Esposito, Luigi (CERN) ; Pujol, Francesc Salvat (CERN) ; Waets, Andreas (CERN ; U. Zurich (main)) ; Girard, Sylvain (Lab. Hubert Curien, St. Etienne) ; Saigné, Frédéric (IES, Montpellier) et al.
Fragmented heavy-ion beams obtained from the
interaction of highly energetic ions with thick targets relative
to the ion ranges are proposed to mimic the high-penetration
linear energy transfer (LET) spectrum present in space and
for electronics testing. Our experimental data characterizing
fragmented heavy-ion beams show an excellent level of agreement
with the Monte Carlo simulations, serving as an initial proofof-concept of the proposed single-event effect (SEE) testing
approach..

Benchmarking of FLUKA production cross sections of positron emission tomography isotopes for in-vivo range verification in hadron therapy
/ Aricò, Giulia (CERN) ; Battistoni, Giuseppe (INFN, Milan ; TIFPA-INFN, Trento) ; Cerutti, Francesco (CERN) ; Horst, Felix (Darmstadt, GSI ; Mittelhessen U., Giessen) ; Mairani, Andrea (HITS, Heidelberg ; pavia cnao) ; Schuy, Christoph (Darmstadt, GSI) ; Weber, Uli (Darmstadt, GSI) ; Ferrari, Alfredo (CERN)
Protons and carbon ions have been extensively used for radiotherapy treatments, and in comparison to conventional radiotherapy, they allow a more conformal dose to the target tumor, especially in case of deep-seated tumors. However, the accuracy of hadron therapy treatments is affected by uncertainties in the particle range calculations. [...]

This article studies the impact of radiation-induced single-event effects (SEEs) in the Zynq-7000 field programmable gate array (FPGA) and presents an in-depth analysis of the SEE susceptibility of all the memories of the programmable logic. The radiation experiments were performed in the CERN North Area facility and in the GSI Helmholtz Centre for Heavy Ion Research using very/ultra high-energy heavy ions. [...]

Hospital, Giessen-Marburg) et al.
Measured cross sections for the production of the PET isotopes , and from carbon and oxygen targets induced by protons (40–220 ) and carbon ions (65–430 ) are presented. These data were obtained via activation measurements of irradiated graphite and beryllium oxide targets using a set of three scintillators coupled by a coincidence logic. [...]

The FOOT FragmentatiOn Of Target Experiment
/ Alexandrov, Andrey (INFN, Naples) ; Alpat, Behcet (INFN, Perugia) ; Ambrosi, Giovanni (INFN, Perugia) ; Argirò, Stefano (Turin U. ; INFN, Turin) ; Battistoni, Giuseppe (INFN, Milan) ; Bisogni, Maria Giuseppina (Pisa U. ; INFN, Pisa) ; Belcari, Nicola (Pisa U. ; INFN, Pisa) ; Biondi, Silvia (INFN, Bologna ; Bologna U.) ; Bruni, Graziano (INFN, Bologna) ; Camarlinghi, Niccolò (Pisa U. ; INFN, Pisa) et al.
In proton-therapy clinical practice a constant RBE equal to 1.1 is adopted, regardless of the demonstrated RBE variations, which depends on physical and biological parameters. Among other mechanisms, nuclear interactions might influence the proton-RBE due to secondary heavier particles produced by target fragmentation that can significantly contribute to the total dose: an un-wanted and undetermined increase of normal tissues complications probability may occur.
