Cancer Therapy with Particle Beams
Particle beams, i.e. proton or ion beams, have a depth dose distribution with a maximum at the end of the particle track, which makes them exceptionally useful for radiosurgery, especially cancer treatment. This article gives a short summary of different types of radiation and points out the advantages of particle beams. It will then cover basic aspects of the theoretical description before exp...
متن کاملTumour Therapy with Particle Beams
Photons are exponentially attenuated in matter producing high doses close to the surface. Therefore they are not well suited for the treatment of deep seated tumours. Charged particles, in contrast, exhibit a sharp increase of ionisation density close to the end of their range, the so-called Bragg-peak. The depth of the Bragg-peak can be adjusted by varying the particle’s energy. In parallel wi...
متن کاملParticle Physics Aspects of Antihydrogen Studies with ALPHA at CERN
We discuss aspects of antihydrogen studies, that relate to particle physics ideas and techniques, within the context of the ALPHA experiment at CERN’s Antiproton Decelerator facility. We review the fundamental physics motivations for antihydrogen studies, and their potential physics reach. We argue that initial spectroscopy measurements, once antihydrogen is trapped, could provide competitive t...
متن کاملSingle particle scattering with focused laser beams.
A scattering technique is described in which the incident laser beam is tightly focused to isolate the effects of a single particle. In this way the individual particles may be studied in their natural environment, and experiments with latex spheres are in agreement with the theory.
متن کاملH α with Heating by Particle Beams
Using 1D NLTE radiative hydrodynamics we model the influence of the particle beams on the Hα line profile treating the beam propagation and the atmosphere evolution self-consistently. We focus on the influence of the non-thermal collisional rates and the return current. Based on our results, we propose a diagnostic method for determination of the particle beam presence in the formation regions ...
