Applications in other fields

invited

Advances in nuclear spectroscopy and nuclear reaction studies far from stability are more and more driven by the availability of intense and pure radioactive beams. However, also other disciplines profit of such beams, e.g. nuclear astrophysics, nuclear solid state physics, materials sciences and medical applications. The particular requirements to the radioactive beam properties will be...

Applications in other fields

invited

Radioactive Ion Beams (RIBs) is becoming the most promising and challenging topic for nuclear physics in the next decade. The facilities under development are tipically based on high intensity, high power particle accelerators. These are giving the opportunity to exploit the possibility to apply the production techniques even in other fields as the production of radioisotopes for advanced...

Alpha particles are well known for their effectiveness against cancer cells. A few alpha particles passing through the cell DNA are sufficient to destroy it or to stop its multiplication. However, the short range (less than 0.1 mm) of naturally available alpha particles has so far prohibited their use as a practical therapeutic agent. Diffusing Alpha-emitters Radiation Therapy (DαRT) is a new...
