Particle therapy uses protons or $^{12}$C beams for the treatment of deep-seated solid tumors. Due to features energy deposition charged particles in matter, a limited amount dose is released healthy tissue beam entrance region, while maximum tumor at end range, Bragg peak region. However nuclear interactions between and patient tissues induce fragmentation both projectile target. This has be carefully taken into account since different ions have effectiveness producing biological damage....
Abstract Homicide–suicide is an event in which individual murders one or more persons and then takes his/her own life. The present study aimed to assess the incidence of homicide-suicide Italy over a 10-year period (between 2009 2018) compare its findings with national international data. Furthermore, time series analysis was carried out employing autoregressive integrated moving average model. Data regarding cases were collected from press agencies four major Italian newspapers. In...
Abstract In hadron therapy, the accelerated ions, interacting with body of patient, cause fragmentation both projectile and target nuclei. The fragments interact human tissues depositing energy in entrance channel volume surrounding tumor. knowledge features is crucial to determine amount deposited body, - hence damage organs around tumor target. FOOT (FragmentatiOn Of Target) experiment aims at studying induced by interaction a proton beam (150-250 MeV/n) inside body. detector includes an...
The paper presents an investigation aimed at validating the hypothesis that teaching workshops in teacher training degree courses, which videos are used as a supporting strategy, can foster development of students’ professional vision. Since several studies highlighting advantages use exist, yet there is less literature describe educational procedures to be used, aim research present tried-and-tested curriculum for professionalization involves, over time span 5 years initial training,...

Charged particle therapy exploits proton or 12C beams to treat deep-seated solid tumors. Due the advantageous characteristics of charged particles energy deposition in matter, maximum dose is released tumor at end beam range, Bragg peak region. However, nuclear interactions with patient tissues induces fragmentation both projectile and target nuclei needs be carefully taken into account. In treatments, produces low energy, short range fragments along all which deposit a non negligible entry...
In a carbon ion treatment the nuclear fragmentation of both target and beam projectiles impacts on dose released tumor surrounding healthy tissues. Carbon occurring inside patient body has to be studied in order take into account this contribution. These data are also important for development range monitoring techniques with charged particles. The production fragments generated by beams 115-353 MeV/u kinetic energy impinging carbon, oxygen, hydrogen targets been measured at CNAO particle...
In the ATLAS experiment, several unfolding methods are used to correct experimental measurements for detector effects, like acceptance and resolution. These use as input raw distributions, well Monte Carlo simulation description of effects. The systematic uncertainties associated various evaluated. statistical affecting and/or propagated through procedure. resulting corrected with their can be directly compared corresponding theoretical predictions.
The main goal of the FOOT (FragmentatiOn Of Target) experiment is measurement differential cross sections as a function energy and direction produced fragments in nuclear interaction between ion beam (proton, helium, carbon, ...) different targets oxygen, ...). Depending on energy, purpose measurements twofold: [150-400] MeV/u range, data will be used to evaluate side effects fragmentation hadrontherapy treatment, while [700-1000] range it optimize shielding spaceships for long term space...
Particle therapy uses proton and ion beams to treat deep-seated solid tumors, exploiting the favorable energy deposition profile of charged particles. Nuclear interactions with patient tissues can induce fragments production that must be taken into account in treatment planning: treatments target fragmentation produces low-energy, short-range depositing a non-negligible dose entry channel, while heavier-ion beam long-range due projectile release surrounding tumor. The FOOT experiment aims...
The current ATLAS muon trigger in the barrel region (in pseudo-rapidity range |η |< 1.05) is based on three layers of Resistive Plate Chambers detectors. It was designed to run for 10 years at LHC luminosity 1034 cm−2s−1 and operated successfully with high selectivity during first period LHC. In order ensure a stable performance RPCs until 2035 higher rates luminosities 5−7×1034 expected HL-LHC, chambers will have be reduced operating voltage gas gain respect original design limit aging...
With over 3000 members from 178 institutes, the ATLAS Collaboration is naturally diverse. Capturing this diversity through pictures can be a challenge.
