TL;DR: In this article, a design study was performed to define the optimal approach to a pCT system based on specifications for applications in proton therapy, and the formation of pCT images based on the reconstruction of volume electron density maps and the suitability of analytic and statistical algorithms for image reconstruction.

TL;DR: A ten-week program on "Gluons and the quark sea at high-energies", which took place at the Institute for Nuclear Theory in Seattle in Fall 2010, has been described in this paper, where the principal aim was to develop and sharpen the science case for an Electron-Ion Collider (EIC), a facility that will be able to collide electrons and positrons with polarized protons and with light to heavy nuclei at high energies.

TL;DR: It is shown that a reasonable density resolution can be achieved with a relatively small dose, which is comparable to or even lower than that of x-ray CT.

TL;DR: This work demonstrates the advantage of tracking curved proton paths in conjunction with the ART algorithm and curved path estimates and shows progressive improvement of spatial resolution when going from the SLP to the curved CSP and MLP path estimates.

TL;DR: In this article, the main motivations that make a proton-nucleus run a decisive ingredient for a successful heavy-ion program at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) are summarized.
