Ceri Brenner (STFC Rutherford Appleton Laboratory), Roger Barlow (University of Huddersfield (GB))

A workshop bringing together STFC and CERN physicists with the clinical
community to present relevant recent work, find common ground and identify
cross-disciplinary collaborative research opportunities for improving
radiotherapy. Topics covered include accelerator design, novel imaging and
detector technologies together with routes for radio-sensitisation.
