MOSFET dosimetry for microbeam radiation therapy at the European Synchrotron Radiation Facility.

Preclinical experiments are carried out with approximately 20-30 microm wide, approximately 10 mm high parallel microbeams of hard, broad-"white"-spectrum x rays (approximately 50-600 keV) to investigate microbeam radiation therapy (MRT) of brain tumors in infants for whom other kinds of radiotherapy are inadequate and/or unsafe. Novel physical microdosimetry (implemented with MOSFET chips in t...

European Synchrotron Radiation Storage Rings1

The list of European synchrotron radiation sources is updated. It shows several new facilities coming into operation, or very close to completion. Their characteristics show the present trends of the community. New projects are announced. The capabilities are extended in the countries already equipped, and new countries are willing to build synchrotron radiation sources. All this confirms the v...

ID22: a multitechnique hard X-ray microprobe beamline at the European Synchrotron Radiation Facility.

The ID22 beamline is dedicated to hard X-ray microanalysis allowing the combination of fluorescence, spectroscopy, diffraction and tomography techniques in a wide energy range from 6 to 70 keV. The recent installation of an in-vacuum undulator, a new sample stage and the adaptation of various focusing optics has contributed to a great improvement in the capabilities of the beamline, which is no...
