Proton pencil beam scanning is a dynamic delivery technique with excellent conformability to the tumor volume. The accuracy of spot size and positions will have significant effect on delivered dose distribution. We employed polymer gel dosimeters measure for Shanghai Advanced Therapy facility (SAPT). Polymer (MAGAT-f PAGAT) were utilized full width at half maximum (FWHM) various depths basis th...

A facility with a horizontal beam for radiobiological experiments with heavy ions has been designed and constructed at the Heavy Ion Laboratory in Warsaw University. The facility is optimal to investigate the radiobiological effects of charged heavy particles on a cellular or molecular level as in the region of the Bragg peak.

High-quality heteroepitaxial LaNiO3 (LNO) thin films were successfully grown on SrTiO3 (STO) substrates with RF-magnetron sputtering deposition at substrate temperatures in a range 150–650 ◦C. Azimuthal scans around the surface Bragg peak of the film and lattice images from a high-resolution transmission electron microscope (HRTEM) show that a well epitaxial relationship between film and substr...

A comparative study of vortex phase diagrams in two weakly pinned low Tc superconductors, Ca3Rh4Sn13 (CaRhSn) and Yb3Rh4Sn13 (YbRhSn), is presented. In CaRhSn, we can witness a disorder-driven transition via the phenomenon of second magnetization peak whose field-temperature dependence is analogous to that often discussed in the context of a Bragg glass (BG) to vortex glass (VG) transition.

Introduction: Recently, an approach exploiting the proton therapy biological enhancement by using Boron atoms injected inside a tumor, has been proposed. Three alpha particles with an average energy around 4MeV are emitted from the point of reaction between a proton and boron. In addition, the 719 keV prompt gamma emitted by the proton Boron fusion reactions can be used for on-...
