Electron beams in the 1 - 5 GeV range seem hard to be used for what is regarding medical applications thought as "patient treatment". But it can be that some of the instrumentation techniques developed in the medical may be considered for EuPraxia and, reciprocally, that this new platform may help in providing the medical field some testing and development opportunities. Under the convinced...

The intense X-ray beams available at large scales facilities and, in the near future, at compact sources, are also well suited for radiation therapy. A flagship development in this field is microbeam radiation therapy (MRT), which uses very high doses of microscopic beams delivered to tissues in a fraction of a second. These microbeams are very well tolerated by normal tissues while tumoral...

Space radiation poses a major hazard both for astronauts and spacecraft electronics, especially during prolonged mission periods. High energy protons and electrons, originated from the sun or deep space, are trapped into the Earth’s magnetic field, forming radiation belts and act as main contributors regarding astronauts’ radiation dose and electronic malfunctions. In this study, the...
