Charged particle therapy has been largely driven and influenced by nuclear physics. The
increase in energy deposition density along the ion path in the body allows reducing the …

Dosimetry audit plays an important role in the development and safety of radiotherapy.
National and large scale audits are able to set, maintain and improve standards, as well as …

With new radiotherapy techniques, treatment delivery is becoming more complex and
accordingly, these treatment techniques require dosimetry audits to test advanced aspects of …

Purpose To describe the implementation of dosimetry equipment and phantoms into clinical
practice of light ion beam therapy facilities. This work covers not only standard dosimetry …

Preclinical radiation research lacks standardized dosimetry procedures that provide
traceability to a primary standard. Consequently, ensuring accuracy and reproducibility …

Purpose To define the physical parameters needed to characterize a particle beam in order
to allow intercomparison of different experiments performed using different ions at the same …

In this contribution, we review the state-of-the-art of detector technologies applied to the
particle therapy (PT) field. The increase of interest in PT has recently triggered a lot of efforts …

Purpose In all recent protocols for the reference dosimetry of clinical proton beams,
ionization chamber perturbation factors are assumed to be unity. In this work, such factors …
