All the fun of the FAIR: fundamental physics at the facility for antiproton and ion research

TL;DR: The Facility for Antiproton and Ion Research (FAIR) as mentioned in this paper will be the accelerator-based flagship research facility in many basic sciences and their applications in Europe for the coming decades, which will open up unprecedented research opportunities in hadron and nuclear physics, in atomic physics and nuclear astrophysics as well as in applied sciences like materials research, plasma physics and radiation biophysics with applications towards novel medical treatments and space science.

Dosimetry for FLASH Radiotherapy: A Review of Tools and the Role of Radioluminescence and Cherenkov Emission

TL;DR: It is shown that luminescent detectors have a key role to play in the development of FLASH, as the field rapidly progresses toward clinical adaptation, and the unique ability of certain luminescence-based methods to provide tumor oxygenation maps in real-time with submillimeter resolution can elucidate the radiobiological mechanisms behind the FLASH effect.

AAPM's TG-51 protocol for clinical reference dosimetry of high-energy photon and electron beams.

TL;DR: This protocol represents a major simplification compared to the AAPM's TG-21 protocol in the sense that large tables of stopping-power ratios and mass-energy absorption coefficients are not needed and the user does not need to calculate any theoretical dosimetry factors.

Radiation-induced impairment of hippocampal neurogenesis is associated with cognitive deficits in young mice

TL;DR: Evidence is provided that irradiation of young animals induces a long-term impairment of dentate subgranular zone neurogenesis that is associated with hippocampal-dependent memory deficits.
