A. Ciardiello,M. Asai,Barbara Caccia,G.A.P. Cirrone,Maria Colonna,Andrea Dotti,Riccardo Faccini,S. Giagu,A. Messina,P. Napolitani,Luciano Pandola,D. H. Wright,Carlo Mancini-Terracciano +12 more
TL;DR: It is shown that it is possible to use a Deep Learning approach to emulate a model developed to simulate nuclear reactions in the energy range of interest for Ion-therapy, and to interface it with the most used Monte Carlo toolkit.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Monte Carlo based implementation of an energy modulation system for proton therapy
G.A.P. Cirrone,Giacomo Cuttone,F. Di Rosa,S. Lo Nigro,Maria Grazia Pia,Luigi Raffaele,Giorgio Ivan Russo +6 more
TL;DR: The possibility to use the GEANT4 toolkit also to design and simulate the time-dependent geometry of the modulator wheel is shown and can represents an useful example for the GEant4 users that want to use this feasibility in a different environment.
Journal ArticleDOI
Design of the prototype of a beam transport line for handling and selection of low energy laser-driven beams
Francesco Schillaci,Mario Maggiore,G.A.P. Cirrone,Giacomo Cuttone,Pietro Pisciotta,M. J. Costa,Danilo Rifuggiato,Fabrizio Romano,Valentina Scuderi +8 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the first prototype of transport beam line for laser-driven ion beams to be used for the handling of particles accelerated by high-power laser interacting with solid targets has been realized at INFN.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Detailed Monte Carlo investigation of a proton computed tomography system
Giacomo Cuttone,G.A.P. Cirrone,G. Candiano,F. Di Rosa,Giorgio Ivan Russo,N. Randazzo,Valeria Sipala,S. Lo Nigro,D. Lo Presti,J. Feldt,J. Heimann,H. F.W. Sadrozinski,A. Seiden,D.C. Williams,Vladimir Bashkirov,Reinhard W. Schulte,Mara Bruzzi,David Menichelli,M. Scaringella +18 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors realized a set of Monte Carlo simulations for the calculation of the most likely path of a single proton inside the body, which can be used to improve the spatial resolution.
Journal ArticleDOI
Silicon Carbide detectors for nuclear physics experiments at high beam luminosity
Grazia Litrico,Salvatore Tudisco,F. La Via,C. Altana,C. Agodi,Lucia Calcagno,Francesco Cappuzzello,Daniele Carbone,Manuela Cavallaro,G.A.P. Cirrone,G. Lanzalone,Annamaria Muoio,S. Privitera,Valentina Scuderi +13 more
TL;DR: Silicon carbide is a very promising material for next generation nuclear physics experiments at high beam luminosity as mentioned in this paper, which requires devices able to sustain high fluxes of particles (up to 1014 ions/cm2) in order to determine the cross sections of very rare nuclear phenomena
