Introduction: Radiotherapy with heavy charged particles such as protons and carbon ions (hadron therapy) has been recognized as an advanced technique for the treatment of various cancers. For some indications such as pediatric and radio-resistant tumors, it is considered the preferred method. However, despite its remarkable benefits, development of hadron therapy centers in the...

Introduction Hadron-therapy is an effective technique used to treat tumors that are located between or nearby vital organs. The Italian National Center of Oncological Hadron-therapy (CNAO) has been realized as the first facility in Italy to treat very difficult tumors with protons and Carbon ions. The on-line monitor system for CNAO has been developed by the Department of Physics of the Univers...

simulation of gamma and hadron showers in the energy range 100gev- 25tev has been carried out. for a big ideal cherenkov light array, characteristics of lateral distribution of cherenkov photon density have been studied. results from this ideal detector are compared with those simulated for a real tunka- like array to investigate experimental potential of using existence of a hump in lateral di...

The preliminary results of an aging test performed at the CERN Gamma Irradiation Facility on a single-gap RPC prototype developed for the LHCb Muon System are presented. The results are based on an accumulated charge density of 0:42 C=cm; corresponding to about 4 years of LHCb running at the highest background rate. We observe a rise in the dark current and noise measured with source off. The c...

an improved mit bag model with hyper central interactions is used to calculate the staticproperties of hadrons containing u, d, s and c quarks. we present a theoretical approach to the internalstructure of three-body hyper central interacting quarks in a hadron, in which we take hadron as a bag.we discuss a few of the results obtained using a six-dimension harmonic oscilator (h.o) potential, ha...

The current status of b-flavored hadron spectroscopy is reviewed.
