En esta presentación expondremos la instalación de datación por 14C mediante espectrometría de masas con acelerador (AMS) en la Universidad de Salamanca. La instalación, dotada de tecnología puntera, permite una datación por 14C muy precisa y exacta de una amplia gama de tipos de muestras. En esta exposición se describen los detalles técnicos del sistema AMS y las diversas medidas de control...
Muon tomography is an emerging technology being used as a Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) technique in the context of the industry, civil engineering, border security, volcanology and others. This technology exploits cosmic muons as a natural radiation source and the fact that they attenuate and suffer scattering when crossing matter, in a way that correlates with the geometry and density of the...
-INTRODUCTION-
Protontherapy has firmly established itself as a complement to conventional radiotherapy for certain tumor and patient profiles. Its primary benefit lies in its remarkable precision, which enables the preservation of a greater amount of the healthy tissue surrounding the tumor. Moreover, protons cause a larger biological effect than photons. Apart from the particles'...
The IRIS group at IFIC has achieved notable advancements in applying Compton cameras for the verification of hadrontherapy treatments and the assessment of radionuclide therapy (RT).
Two reconfigurable multi-layer systems based on LaBr3 monolithic scintillator crystals coupled to SiPMs have been developed in the group. The first system, MACACO III makes use of the AliVATA readout board,...
El cáncer es la segunda causa de muerte en el mundo, con unos 9,6 millones de fallecimientos [1]. Se trata de un amplio grupo de enfermedades complejas que afectan a casi todos los órganos o tejidos del cuerpo y presentan múltiples rasgos característicos. Las técnicas de imagen son el método por excelencia para analizar el estado e incluso la relación entre varios rasgos distintivos tumorales....
High energy physics, radio astronomy, astroparticle physics, all are expected to significantly advance the state of the art of modelling and simulation. The EU-funded interTwin project will co-design and implement the prototype of an interdisciplinary digital twin engine. This open-source platform will provide generic and tailored software components for modelling and simulation to integrate...
Two of the most promising methodologies for in-room real-time ion-range
monitoring are positron-emission tomography (PET) and prompt-gamma
imaging (PGI). Owing to the prompt-nature of the emitted radiation, range
verification via PGI is well suited for real-time monitoring [Ler22], whereas
PET imaging can provide tomographic and functional information relevant
to study physiological...
