India is member of the International Particle Physics Outreach Group (IPPOG). The details about this group and its program can be found at - https://ippog.org/. In collaboration with IPPOG, every year CMRP NISER organizes Particle Therapy Masterclass for +2 level students of near by schools.
This year one day Masterclass on "Particle Therapy" will be held on Friday, 15th March 2024 from 10.00 AM to 5.00 PM in Lecture Hall-4 near central Library, NISER.
There will be a few presentations/animations/videos shown in the morning session and in the afternoon session after lunch, a hands-on session will be conducted on a software related to the treatment planning done in hospitals to treat cancer patients using radiation. The idea of the workshop is to introduce participants to the field of radiation/particle therapy and nuclear and particle physics in general. The basic science we do in particle and nuclear physics has this very important societal application.
The registration deadline is 1st March 2024. There are a limited number of seats kindly hurry up and register.
Laptop/computer requirements to use the Matrad software (Treatment planning):
The software tool can work on systems starting with 2GB RAM, however, it is recommended to use 8GB RAM or more and a 64-bit computer for: Windows, Linux & Mac (32-bit OS is not supported).
