Journal ArticleDOI
Measurement of charged particle yields from PMMA irradiated by a 220 MeV/u (12)C beam.
Luca Piersanti,F. Bellini,Fabiano Bini,Francesco Collamati,E. De Lucia,Marco Durante,R. Faccini,F. Ferroni,S. Fiore,E. Iarocci,C. La Tessa,Michela Marafini,Ilaria Mattei,Vincenzo Patera,Pablo G. Ortega,Pablo G. Ortega,Alessio Sarti,Christoph Schuy,A. Sciubba,M. Vanstalle,C. Voena +20 more
TL;DR: The measurements of charged particle fluxes produced by the interaction of a 220 MeV/u carbon ion beam at GSI, Darmstadt, with a polymethyl methacrylate target are reported and a method to monitor the dose profile and the position of the Bragg peak inside the target is proposed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Toward Radioguided Surgery with β− Decays: Uptake of a Somatostatin Analogue, DOTATOC, in Meningioma and High-Grade Glioma
Francesco Collamati,Alessandra Pepe,F. Bellini,V. Bocci,G. Chiodi,Marta Cremonesi,Erika De Lucia,Mahila Ferrari,P.M. Frallicciardi,Chiara Maria Grana,Michela Marafini,Ilaria Mattei,Silvio Morganti,Vincenzo Patera,Luca Piersanti,L. Recchia,A. Russomando,Alessio Sarti,Adalberto Sciubba,M. Senzacqua,Elena Solfaroli Camillocci,C. Voena,Davide Pinci,Riccardo Faccini +23 more
TL;DR: Uptake of 90Y-DOTATOC in meningiomas was high and the tracer can still be effective for RGS, particularly if further research and development is done to improve the performance of the β− probe.
Journal ArticleDOI
Charged particle's flux measurement from PMMA irradiated by 80 MeV/u carbon ion beam.
C. Agodi,G. Battistoni,F. Bellini,G.A.P. Cirrone,Francesco Collamati,Giacomo Cuttone,E. De Lucia,M. De Napoli,A. Di Domenico,Riccardo Faccini,F. Ferroni,S. Fiore,P. Gauzzi,E. Iarocci,Michela Marafini,I. Mattei,S. Muraro,A. Paoloni,Vincenzo Patera,Luca Piersanti,Francesco Romano,Alessio Sarti,Adalberto Sciubba,E. Vitale,C. Voena +24 more
TL;DR: Measurements carried out with charged secondary particles produced from the interaction of a 80 MeV/u fully stripped carbon ion beam at the INFN Laboratori Nazionali del Sud, Catania, with a poly-methyl methacrylate target show an accuracy on the Bragg peak determination in the submillimeter range.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: In this article, the measurements of the spectrum and rate of such photons produced from the interaction of a 80 MeV/u fully stripped carbon ion beam at the Laboratori Nazionali del Sud of INFN, Catania, with a Poly-methyl methacrylate target were reported.
Journal ArticleDOI
