Oral contribution

The Cyclotron Center Bronowice (CCB) is the proton beam facility at the Institute of Nuclear Physics Polish Academy of Sciences (IFJ PAN) devoted mainly to conduct hadron therapy. Additionally it offers the possibility of using proton beams for nuclear physics research.
There is established experimental program based on proposals evaluated by International Advisory Committee.
In my talk I...

10. The Need for a Research Room in a Proton Therapy Center – Dresden perspective

Toni Koegler

Oral contribution

Particle therapy (PT) has emerged as an important innovative technology for tumor treatment. It is demonstrably superior to conventional radiotherapy with MV X-rays and electrons in more and more applications and is therefore becoming increasingly important. Nevertheless, extensive research is still required to fully exploit its full potential. A better understanding of the relative biological...

27. Bunker Shielding Monte Carlo Simulation for the HUMV Protontherapy Facility

Alberto Arteche (Instituto de Física de Cantabria (IFCA))

Oral contribution

The Spanish Nuclear Safety Council (CSN) demands the preparation of a Radiation Protection (RP) report by an independent entity for the commissioning of the BEAMPRO250 cyclotron machine at Valdecilla Hospital (HUMV). To meet this legal requirement, the Instituto de Física de Cantabria (IFCA) has developed a Geant4-based simulation tool that, given the machine geometry and annual workload,...
