The clinical translation of FLASH radiotherapy (RT) requires challenges related to dosimetry
and beam monitoring of ultra‐high dose rate (UHDR) beams to be addressed. Detectors …

While FLASH radiation therapy is inspiring enthusiasm to transform the field, it is neither new
nor well understood with respect to the radiobiological mechanisms. As FLASH clinical trials …

UHDpulse–Metrology for advanced radiotherapy using particle beams with ultra-high pulse
dose rates is a recently started European Joint Research Project with the aim to develop and …

Background Conventional air ionization chambers (ICs) exhibit ion recombination correction
factors that deviate substantially from unity when irradiated with dose per pulse magnitudes …

Various in vivo experimental works carried out on different animals and organs have shown
that it is possible to reduce the damage caused to healthy tissue still preserving the …

Purpose FLASH radiotherapy (RT) is an emerging technique in which beams with ultra‐high
dose rates (UH‐DR) and dose per pulse (UH‐DPP) are used. Commercially available active …

A paradigm shift is occurring in clinical oncology exploiting the recent discovery that short
