Optimization of Medical Accelerators (OMA)
Start date: Feb 1, 2016, End date: Jan 31, 2020,
Cancer is a major social problem, and it is the main cause of death between the ages 45-65 years. In the treatment of cancer, radio therapy (RT) plays an essential role. RT with hadrons (protons and light ions), due to their unique physical and radiobiological properties, offers several advantages over photons for specific cancer types. In particular, they penetrate the patient with minimal diffus ...

MEDICIS-produced radioisotope beams for medicine (MEDICIS-PROMED)
Start date: Apr 1, 2015, End date: Mar 31, 2019,
Pure accelerated radioisotope beams have been used for 50 years in fundamental physics R&D, e.g. for nuclear structure studies (pear shaped exotic nuclei, Nature 2013); CERN-ISOLDE plays a central role in developing accelerator technologies and fostering collaborative approaches to advance this field of isotope mass separation online. Our most recent contribution was the use of nanomaterial target ...

Particle Training Network for European Radiotherapy (PARTNER)
Start date: Oct 1, 2008, End date: Sep 30, 2012,
"A Particle Training Network for European Radiotherapy (PARTNER) will be established in response to the critical need for reinforcing research in ion therapy and the training of professionals in the rapidly emerging field of hadron therapy. This is an interdisciplinary, multinational initiative, which has the primary goal of training researchers who will help to improve the overall efficiency of i ...
