Charged particle therapy has been largely driven and influenced by nuclear physics. The
increase in energy deposition density along the ion path in the body allows reducing the …

National space agencies and private corporations aim at an extended presence of humans
in space in the medium to long term. Together with currently suboptimal technology …

The space environment consists of various complex phenomena, which could have a strong
influence on the spacecraft operation in different aspects. Since the very beginning of space …

Abstract Geant4 Monte Carlo simulations were carried out to investigate the possible
shielding materials of aluminum, polyethylene, hydrides, complex hydrides and composite …

Common and rare alleles are now being annotated across millions of human genomes, and
omics technologies are increasingly being used to develop health and treatment …

Most accelerator-based space radiation experiments have been performed with single ion
beams at fixed energies. However, the space radiation environment consists of a wide …

Energetic ion beam experiments with major space radiation elements, 1 H, 4 He, 16 O, 28 Si
and 56 Fe, have been conducted to investigate the radiation shielding properties of …

Potential deleterious health effects to astronauts induced by space radiation is one of the
most important long-term risks for human space missions, especially future planetary …

We review the current stage of research of track formation processes and mechanisms in
materials irradiated by swift ions. We show that the nature and morphology of tracks depend …

In Charged Particle Therapy (PT) proton or 12C beams are used to treat deep-seated solid
tumors exploiting the advantageous characteristics of charged particles energy deposition in …
