TL;DR: The projectile fragment separator FRS designed for research and applied studies with relativistic heavy ions was installed at GSI as a part of the new high-energy SIS/ESR accelerator facility as mentioned in this paper.

TL;DR: Results of clinical phase I-II trials provide evidence that carbon-ion radiotherapy might be beneficial in several tumor entities, and the progress in heavy-ion therapy is reviewed, including physical and technical developments, radiobiological studiesmore and models, as well as radiooncological studies.

TL;DR: A novel code system, TRiP, dedicated to the planning of radiotherapy with energetic ions, in particular 12C, designed to cooperate with three-dimensional active dose shaping devices like the GSI raster scan system is described.

TL;DR: In this article, an ion beam therapy system comprising a plurality of separate patient treatment stations, a source of ions, an accelerator system for accelerating ions as a beam and a gantry transport system for directing the ion beam from the accelerator to the treatment stations is presented.

TL;DR: The motion tracking system successfully preserved dose distributions delivered to moving targets and maintained target conformity in order to mitigate the impact of respiratory motion.
