The use of Monte Carlo methods for the set up of treatment planning systems (TPS) in radiotherapy applications is a current standard. The most advanced modeling techniques aim to directly link the output of CT scans to the patient specific model build up instead of standard phantoms and look up tables. This phase represents a critical step since even the most accurate segmentation and organ...
This talk reports on the HCAL-J hadron calorimeter, that we assemble at Jefferson Laboratory in Newport News, VA-US.
The main interest of JLAB [1] physics is the study of fundamental interactions and constituents of hadronic matter by a longitudinally polarized electron beam; in particular, the electromagnetic Form Factors of nucleons are studied using a continuous electron beam as a probe,...
A new Large-Acceptance Forward Angle Spectrometer (Super Bigbite Spectrometer-SBS [1]) is under development for the upcoming experiments in Hall A at the Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility (Virginia-USA) [2], where a longitudinally polarized (up to 85%) electron beam up to 12 GeV energy is now available. The excellent beam intensity (up to 100 μA), combined with innovative...
The surging growth of exposure to Electromagnetic Fields (EMF) represents one of the main factors of people concern about negative biological effects generated by environmental stressors. The worldwide use of cellular phones has generated public concern about exposure to the microwave radiation associated with these phones. The probable biological effects due to the use of mobile phones can be...
The Radiochemistry group at Politecnico di Milano is active in several cutting-edge research topics in the areas of Radiochemistry and Radiation Chemistry. Thanks to the availability of the New Integrated Nuclear Laboratories at Campus Bovisa in Milano, the research group is able to develop education & training activities within the Master degree course in Nuclear Engineering and the Doctoral...
In Italy, that of “Radiochemist” is now an “endangered species”…
After the Referendum of 1987, which produced, in fact, the exit of Italy by the programs for the peaceful use of nuclear energy, the number of young people, students and researchers, interested in nuclear disciplines has declined more and more to the current critical situation.
On the other hand, the need to characterize, from...
This study reviews the unique experience of research in the water treatment applied in educational process.
The Faculty of Chemistry of the Belarusian State University (BSU) works in close contact with the Research Institute for Physical and Chemical Problems, which originally stemmed from the Faculty itself, but later separated. The experts of the Research Institute and Faculty of Chemistry...
Chemical dosimeters represent a promising instrument for treatment plan verification in radiotherapy. To achieve the required dependability in terms of sensitivity, accuracy, precision and temporal stability of measured dose distributions, it necessary to characterize how such parameters might be influenced by varying irradiation characteristics, to mimic the different scenarios that can be...
