Abstract: A search for neutrinoless ββ decay processes accompanied with Majoron emission has been performed using data collected during Phase I of the GERmanium Detector Array (GERDA) experiment at the Laboratori Nazionali del Gran Sasso of INFN (Italy). Processes with spectral indices n=1,2,3,7 were searched for. No signals were found and lower limits of the order of 10 23 yr on their half-lives were derived, yielding substantially improved results compared to previous experiments with 76 Ge. A new result for the half-life of the neutrino-accompanied ββ decay of 76 Ge with significantly reduced uncertainties is also given, resulting in T1/22ν=(1.926±0.094)×1021 yr.

Abstract: We present a novel approach for the search of dark matter in the DarkSide-50 experiment, relying on Bayesian Networks. This method incorporates the detector response model into the likelihood function, explicitly maintaining the connection with the quantity of interest. No assumptions about the linearity of the problem or the shape of the probability distribution functions are required, and there is no need to morph signal and background spectra as a function of nuisance parameters. By expressing the problem in terms of Bayesian Networks, we have developed an inference algorithm based on a Markov Chain Monte Carlo to calculate the posterior probability. A clever description of the detector response model in terms of parametric matrices allows us to study the impact of systematic variations of any parameter on the final results. Our approach not only provides the desired information on the parameter of interest, but also potential constraints on the response model. Our results are consistent with recent published analyses and further refine the parameters of the detector response model., Comment: 24 pages, 12 figures, 1 table

Abstract: Clustering phenomena characterise several fields of natural sciences and sociology. They consist on the self-organisation of groups of objects in correlated sub-groups, introducing symmetries and, in some cases, a certain degree of order in the overall system. In nuclear physics, these aspects represent one of the most fascinating effects induced by the Pauli principle in nuclei. Their investigation is an extremely powerful tool to understand the behaviour of nuclear forces in N-body interacting systems. In this thesis, I discuss the results of an experimental campaign that explores clustering aspects in light nuclear systems from a multi-methodic approach and by using different and complementary techniques.The work start with the 10Be nucleus, predicted to be constituted by a molecular cluster structure of two alpha particles kept bound by the two extra valence neutrons. The experiment has been performed with 10Be beams produced at the INFN-LNS laboratory with the FRIBs projectile fragmentation technique. By means of particle-particle correlation techniques, signals of a new state possibly belonging to the 10Be molecular rotational band were observed. Other nuclei along the carbon isotopic chain were also investigated to understand how clustering phenomena evolve with neutron excess. For 11C and 13C we used 10B(p,alpha) and 9Be(alpha,alpha) nuclear reactions, respectively, at low energies. These measurements were made at the tandem accelerator in Naples. Measured Differential cross sections and angular distributions, together with other data available in the literature, were reproduced by R-matrix calculations, which allowed us to refine the spectroscopy of such nuclei and suggest the existence of cluster states, possibly members of molecular rotational bands. The 16C nucleus was investigated with the same setup used in the 10Be case with a very intense secondary beam. I have observed non vanishing yields in both two-body and three-body cluster disintegration channels for 16C which represent extremely rare decays. Finally, the Hoyle state in 12C (7.654 MeV, 0+) was investigated in a high-precision experiment by using the 14N(d,a) reaction at 10.5 MeV at INFN-LNS. The study has provided an upper limit to the direct three-alpha decay process of such state with an unprecedented precision. This result, which improves of a factor 5 the existing state of the art, provides important constraint to theoretical structure models as well as to stellar nucleosynthesis calculations aiming at revealing the origin of elements in the universe. Clustering phenomena have also been studied in 19F and 20Ne nuclei with the 19F(p,a) reaction at very low energies at the AN-2000 accelerator of the INFN-LNL. An R-matrix analysis of the integrated cross-section was used to provide information on the structure of the 20Ne compound nucleus with its astrophysical implications on the CNO cycle in stars.I have also used heavy ion collisions at intermediate energies to explore clustering phenomena in dilute and hot nuclear matter. I have developed a thermal model of particle-particle correlations whit the aim of describing the population of decaying unbound states produced during the evolution of violent Ar+Ni collisions at 32-95 MeV per nucleon. The limitations of a purely thermal approach in such a dynamical system have been discussed, with possible ideas to explain the mechanism which populate internal states in 8Be cluster states accounting for the interplay of thermodynamics with final state interaction effects. Such studies are relevant to model cluster formation in nuclear matter.; Les phénomènes de clustering caractérisent plusieurs domaines des sciences naturelles et de la sociologie. Ils consistent en l'auto-organisation de groupes d'objets en sous-groupes corrélés, en introduisant des symétries et, dans certains cas, un certain degré d'ordre dans le système global. En physique nucléaire, ces aspects représentent l'un des effets les plus fascinants induits par le principe de Pauli dans les noyaux. Leur investigation est un outil extrêmement puissant pour comprendre le comportement des forces nucléaires dans les systèmes d’N corps avec interactions les unes les autres. Dans ce thèse, je discute des résultats d'une campagne expérimentale qui explore les aspects de clustering dans les systèmes nucléaires légers à partir d'une approche multi-méthodique et en utilisant des techniques différentes et complémentaires. Le travail commence avec le noyau 10Be, prévu pour être constitué par une structure de cluster moléculaire de deux particules alpha liées par les deux neutrons de valence supplémentaire. L'expérience a été réalisée avec des faisceaux de 10Be produits au laboratoire INFN-LNS avec la technique de fragmentation des projectiles FRIBs. À travers des techniques de corrélation particule-particule, des signaux d'un nouvel état appartenant possiblement à la bande de rotation moléculaire de 10Be ont été observés. Autres noyaux appartenants à la chaîne isotopique du carbone ont également été étudiés pour comprendre comment les phénomènes de clustering évoluent avec l'excès de neutrons. Pour 11C et 13C, nous avons utilisé les réactions nucléaires 10B(p,a) et 9Be(a,a), respectivement, à basse énergie. Ces mesures ont été conduites à l'accélérateur TANDEM de Naples. Les sections efficaces différentielles et les distributions angulaires, ainsi que autres données disponibles dans la littérature, ont été reproduites par des calculs R-matrix, ce qui nous a permis d'affiner la structure de ces noyaux et de suggérer l'existence d'états à cluster.Le noyau 16C a été étudié avec la même configuration expérimentale utilisée dans le cas du 10Be mais avec un faisceau secondaire très intense. J'ai observé des contributions non négligeables dans les voies de désintégration à deux et à trois corps pour le 16C, voies qui représentent des désintégrations extrêmement rares. Enfin, l'état de Hoyle dans 12C (7.654 MeV,0+) a été étudié avec une expérience de haute précision en utilisant la réaction 14N(d,a) à 10,5 MeV à INFN-LNS. L'étude a fourni un limite supérieure pour la voie de désintégration directe en trois alpha avec une précision sans précédent. Ce résultat, qui améliore d'un facteur 5 l'état actuel de la technique, fournit une contrainte importante aux modèles de structure théorique ainsi qu'aux calculs de nucléosynthèse stellaire responsables de l'origine des éléments dans l'univers. Les phénomènes de clustering ont également été étudiés dans les noyaux 19F et 20Ne avec la réaction 19F(p,a) à très basse énergie à l'accélérateur AN-2000 de l'INFN-LNL. Une analyse par R-matrix de la section efficace intégrée a été utilisée pour fournir des informations sur la structure du noyau composé 20Ne avec des implications astrophysiques sur le cycle CNO dans les étoiles. J'ai également étudié les collisions entre les ions lourds à des énergies intermédiaires pour explorer les phénomènes de clustering dans la matière nucléaire diluée et chaude. J'ai développé un modèle thermique des corrélations particules-particules pour décrire la population d'états non liés produits lors de l'évolution des collisions Ar+Ni violentes à 32-95 MeV par nucléon. Les limites d'une approche purement thermique dans un tel système dynamique ont été discutées, avec des idées possibles pour expliquer le mécanisme qui peuplent les états internes dans les noyaux 8Be en discutant l'interconnexion entre la thermodynamique et les effets d'interaction d’état final. Ces études sont importants pour décrire la formation de clusters dans la matière nucléaire.

Abstract: [EN] We present the high-energy-neutrino follow-up observations of the first gravitational wave transient GW150914 observed by the Advanced LIGO detectors on September 14, 2015. We search for coincident neutrino candidates within the data recorded by the IceCube and ANTARES neutrino detectors. A possible joint detection could be used in targeted electromagnetic follow-up observations, given the significantly better angular resolution of neutrino events compared to gravitational waves. We find no neutrino candidates in both temporal and spatial coincidence with the gravitational wave event. Within sof the gravitational wave event, the number of neutrino candidates detected by IceCube and ANTARES were three and zero, respectively. This is consistent with the expected atmospheric background, and none of the neutrino candidates were directionally coincident with GW150914. We use this nondetection to constrain neutrino emission from the gravitational-wave event., The authors acknowledge the financial support of the funding agencies: Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS), Commissariat à l’énergie atomique et aux énergies alternatives (CEA), Commission Européenne (FEDER fund and Marie Curie Program), Institut Universitaire de France (IUF), IdEx program and UnivEarthS Labex program at Sorbonne Paris Cité (ANR10-LABX-0023 and ANR-11-IDEX-0005-02), Région Îlede-France (DIM-ACAV), Région Alsace (contrat CPER), Région Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur, Département du Var and Ville de La Seyne-sur-Mer, France; Bundesministerium für Bildung und Forschung (BMBF), Germany; Istituto Nazionale di Fisica Nucleare (INFN), Italy; Stichting voor Fundamenteel Onderzoek der Materie (FOM), Nederlandse organisatie voor Wetenschappelijk Onderzoek (NWO), the Netherlands; Council of the President of the Russian Federation for young scientists and leading scientific schools supporting grants, Russia; National Authority for Scientific Research (ANCS), Romania; Ministerio de Economía y Competitividad (MINECO), Prometeo and Grisolía programs of Generalitat Valenciana and MultiDark, Spain; Agence de l’Oriental and CNRST, Morocco.

Abstract: We present the results of searches for point-like sources of neutrinos based on the first combined analysis of data from both the ANTARES and IceCube neutrino telescopes. The combination of both detectors, which differ in size and location, forms a window in the southern sky where the sensitivity to point sources improves by up to a factor of 2 compared with individual analyses. Using data recorded by ANTARES from 2007 to 2012, and by IceCube from 2008 to 2011, we search for sources of neutrino emission both across the southern sky and from a preselected list of candidate objects. No signicant excess over background has been found in these searches, and flux upper limits for the candidate sources are presented for E-2.5 and E-2 power-law spectra with different energy cut-offs., The authors of the IceCube collaboration acknowledge the support from the following agencies: U.S. National Science Foundation-Office of Polar Programs, U.S. National Science Foundation-Physics Division, University of Wisconsin Alumni Research Foundation, the Grid Laboratory Of Wisconsin (GLOW) grid infrastructure at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, the Open Science Grid (OSG) grid infrastructure; U.S. Department of Energy, and National Energy Research Scientific Computing Center, the Louisiana Optical Network Initiative (LONI) grid computing resources; Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada, WestGrid and Compute/Calcul Canada; Swedish Research Council, Swedish Polar Research Secretariat, Swedish National Infrastructure for Computing (SNIC), and Knut and Alice Wallenberg Foundation, Sweden; German Ministry for Education and Research (BMBF), Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG), Helmholtz Alliance for Astroparticle Physics (HAP), Research Department of Plasmas with Complex Interactions (Bochum), Germany; Fund for Scientific Research (FNRS-FWO), FWO Odysseus programme, Flanders Institute to encourage scientific and technological research in industry (IWT), Belgian Federal Science Policy Office (Belspo); University of Oxford, United Kingdom; Marsden Fund, New Zealand; Australian Research Council; Japan Society for Promotion of Science (JSPS); the Swiss National Science Foundation (SNSF), Switzerland; National Research Foundation of Korea (NRF); Danish National Research Foundation, Denmark (DNRF).

Abstract: International audience; The quasi-free break-up of deuteron was used to study the neutron induced 6 Li + n reaction via the 2 H(6 Li, α 3 H)p. The aim of the experiment was to check whether the deuteron can be considered as a source of virtual neutrons. This was done by studying the excitation function of the 6 Li(n, α) 3 H two body reaction at low energy where the resonance corresponding to the excited level at 7.454 MeV of 7 Li is present. Two experimental runs were performed at the Laboratori Nazionali del Sud (LNS) in Catania, Italy. In both experiments, the energy and the position of the outgoing α and 3 H particles were measured and the kinematics were reconstructed assuming a proton as third particle. The quasi-free events were selected in order to reconstruct the 6 Li(n, α) 3 H cross section in the center of mass energy by using the Plane Wave Impulse Approximation approach. The obtained cross section is in very good agreement with the directly measured one.

Abstract: High-energy neutrinos could be produced in the interaction of charged cosmic rays with matter or radiation surrounding astrophysical sources. Even with the recent detection of extraterrestrial high-energy neutrinos by the IceCube experiment, no astrophysical neutrino source has yet been discovered. Transient sources, such as gamma-ray bursts, core-collapse supernovae, or active galactic nuclei are promising candidates. Multi-messenger programs oﬀer a unique opportunity to detect these transient sources. By combining the information provided by the ANTARES neutrino telescope with information coming from other observa-tories, the probability of detecting a source is enhanced, allowing the possibility of identifying a neutrino progenitor from a single detected event. A method based on optical and X-ray follow-ups of high-energy neutrino alerts has been developed within the ANTARES collaboration. This method does not require any assumptions on the relation between neutrino and photon spectra other than time-correlation. This program, denoted as TAToO, triggers a network of robotic optical telescopes (TAROT and ROTSE) and the Swift-XRT with a delay of only a few seconds after a neutrino detection, and is therefore well-suited to search for fast transient sources. To identify an optical or X-ray counterpart to a neutrino signal, the images provided by the follow-up observations are analysed with dedicated pipelines. A total of 42 alerts with optical and 7 alerts with X-ray images taken with a maximum delay of 24 hours after the neutrino trigger have been analysed. No optical or X-ray counterparts associated to the neutrino triggers have been found, and upper limits on transient source magnitudes have been derived. The probability to reject the gamma-ray burst origin hypothesis has been computed for each alert., The authors acknowledge the financial support of the funding agencies: Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS), Commissariat a l'energie atomique et aux energies alternatives (CEA), Commission Europeenne (FEDER fund and Marie Curie Program), Region Ile-de-France (DIM-ACAV), Region Alsace (contrat CPER), Region Provence-Alpes-Cote d'Azur, Departement du Var and Ville de La Seyne-sur-Mer, France; Bundesministerium fur Bildung and Forschung (BMBF), Germany; Istituto Nazionale di Fisica Nucleare (INFN), Italy; Stichting voor Fundamenteel Onderzoek der Materie (FOM), Nederlandse organisatie voor Wetenschappelijk Onderzoek (NWO), the Netherlands; Council of the President of the Russian Federation for young scientists and leading scientific schools supporting grants, Russia; National Authority for Scientific Research (ANCS), Romania; Ministerio de Ciencia e Innovacion (MICINN), Prometeo of Generalitat Valenciana and MultiDark, Spain; Agence de l'Oriental and CNRST, Morocco.

Abstract: Asymptotic giant branch stars are responsible for the production of most of the heavy isotopes beyond Sr observed in the solar system. Among them, isotopes shielded from the r-process contribution by their stable isobars are defined as s-only nuclei. For a long time the abundance of ^{204}Pb, the heaviest s-only isotope, has been a topic of debate because state-of-the-art stellar models appeared to systematically underestimate its solar abundance. Besides the impact of uncertainties from stellar models and galactic chemical evolution simulations, this discrepancy was further obscured by rather divergent theoretical estimates for the neutron capture cross section of its radioactive precursor in the neutron-capture flow, ^{204}Tl (t_{1/2}=3.78 yr), and by the lack of experimental data on this reaction. We present the first ever neutron capture measurement on ^{204}Tl, conducted at the CERN neutron time-of-flight facility n_TOF, employing a sample of only 9 mg of ^{204}Tl produced at the Institute Laue Langevin high flux reactor. By complementing our new results with semiempirical calculations we obtained, at the s-process temperatures of kT≈8 keV and kT≈30 keV, Maxwellian-averaged cross sections (MACS) of 580(168) mb and 260(90) mb, respectively. These figures are about 3% lower and 20% higher than the corresponding values widely used in astrophysical calculations, which were based only on theoretical calculations. By using the new ^{204}Tl MACS, the uncertainty arising from the ^{204}Tl(n,γ) cross section on the s-process abundance of ^{204}Pb has been reduced from ∼30% down to +8%/-6%, and the s-process calculations are in agreement with the latest solar system abundance of ^{204}Pb reported by K.

Abstract: Objective. Detectors that can provide accurate dosimetry for microbeam radiation therapy (MRT) must possess intrinsic radiation hardness, a high dynamic range, and a micron-scale spatial resolution. In this work we characterize hydrogenated amorphous silicon detectors for MRT dosimetry, presenting a novel combination of flexible, ultra-thin and radiation-hard features. Approach. Two detectors are explored: an n-type/intrinsic/p-type planar diode (NIP) and an NIP with an additional charge selective layer (NIP + CSC). Results. The sensitivity of the NIP + CSC detector was greater than the NIP detector for all measurement conditions. At 1 V and 0 kGy under the 3T Cu-Cu synchrotron broadbeam, the NIP + CSC detector sensitivity of (7.76 ± 0.01) pC cGy -1 outperformed the NIP detector sensitivity of (3.55 ± 0.23) pC cGy -1 by 219%. The energy dependence of both detectors matches closely to the attenuation coefficient ratio of silicon against water. Radiation damage measurements of both detectors out to 40 kGy revealed a higher radiation tolerance in the NIP detector compared to the NIP + CSC (17.2% and 33.5% degradations, respectively). Percentage depth dose profiles matched the PTW microDiamond detector's performance to within ±6% for all beam filtrations except in 3T Al-Al due to energy dependence. The 3T Cu-Cu microbeam field profile was reconstructed and returned microbeam width and peak-to-peak values of (51 ± 1) μ m and (405 ± 5) μ m, respectively. The peak-to-valley dose ratio was measured as a function of depth and agrees within error to the values obtained with the PTW microDiamond. X-ray beam induced charge mapping of the detector revealed minimal dose perturbations from extra-cameral materials. Significance. The detectors are comparable to commercially available dosimeters for quality assurance in MRT. With added benefits of being micron-sized and possessing a flexible water-equivalent substrate, these detectors are attractive candidates for quality assurance, in-vivo dosimetry and in-line beam monitoring for MRT and FLASH therapy., (Creative Commons Attribution license.)

Abstract: A chemistry module has been implemented in Geant4-DNA since Geant4 version 10.1 to simulate the radiolysis of water after irradiation. It has been used in a number of applications, including the calculation of G-values and early DNA damage, allowing the comparison with experimental data. Since the first version, numerous modifications have been made to the module to improve the computational efficiency and extend the simulation to homogeneous kinetics in bulk solution. With these new developments, new applications have been proposed and released as Geant4 examples, showing how to use chemical processes and models. This work reviews the models implemented and application developments for modeling water radiolysis in Geant4-DNA as reported in the ESA BioRad III Project., (© 2024 American Association of Physicists in Medicine.)

Abstract: Background: The increasing use of complex and high dose-rate treatments in radiation therapy necessitates advanced detectors to provide accurate dosimetry. Rather than relying on pre-treatment quality assurance (QA) measurements alone, many countries are now mandating the use of in vivo dosimetry, whereby a dosimeter is placed on the surface of the patient during treatment. Ideally, in vivo detectors should be flexible to conform to a patient's irregular surfaces., Purpose: This study aims to characterize a novel hydrogenated amorphous silicon (a-Si:H) radiation detector for the dosimetry of therapeutic x-ray beams. The detectors are flexible as they are fabricated directly on a flexible polyimide (Kapton) substrate., Methods: The potential of this technology for application as a real-time flexible detector is investigated through a combined dosimetric and flexibility study. Measurements of fundamental dosimetric quantities were obtained including output factor (OF), dose rate dependence (DPP), energy dependence, percentage depth dose (PDD), and angular dependence. The response of the a-Si:H detectors investigated in this study are benchmarked directly against commercially available ionization chambers and solid-state diodes currently employed for QA practices., Results: The a-Si:H detectors exhibit remarkable dose linearities in the direct detection of kV and MV therapeutic x-rays, with calibrated sensitivities ranging from (0.580 ± 0.002) pC/cGy to (19.36 ± 0.10) pC/cGy as a function of detector thickness, area, and applied bias. Regarding dosimetry, the a-Si:H detectors accurately obtained OF measurements that parallel commercially available detector solutions. The PDD response closely matched the expected profile as predicted via Geant4 simulations, a PTW Farmer ionization chamber and a PTW ROOS chamber. The most significant variation in the PDD performance was 5.67%, observed at a depth of 3 mm for detectors operated unbiased. With an external bias, the discrepancy in PDD response from reference data was confined to ± 2.92% for all depths (surface to 250 mm) in water-equivalent plastic. Very little angular dependence is displayed between irradiations at angles of 0° and 180°, with the most significant variation being a 7.71% decrease in collected charge at a 110° relative angle of incidence. Energy dependence and dose per pulse dependence are also reported, with results in agreement with the literature. Most notably, the flexibility of a-Si:H detectors was quantified for sample bending up to a radius of curvature of 7.98 mm, where the recorded photosensitivity degraded by (-4.9 ± 0.6)% of the initial device response when flat. It is essential to mention that this small bending radius is unlikely during in vivo patient dosimetry. In a more realistic scenario, with a bending radius of 15-20 mm, the variation in detector response remained within ± 4%. After substantial bending, the detector's photosensitivity when returned to a flat condition was (99.1 ± 0.5)% of the original response., Conclusions: This work successfully characterizes a flexible detector based on thin-film a-Si:H deposited on a Kapton substrate for applications in therapeutic x-ray dosimetry. The detectors exhibit dosimetric performances that parallel commercially available dosimeters, while also demonstrating excellent flexibility results., (© 2024 The Authors.

Abstract: Background: The extremely fast delivery of doses with ultra high dose rate (UHDR) beams necessitates the investigation of novel approaches for real-time dosimetry and beam monitoring. This aspect is fundamental in the perspective of the clinical application of FLASH radiotherapy (FLASH-RT), as conventional dosimeters tend to saturate at such extreme dose rates., Purpose: This study aims to experimentally characterize newly developed silicon carbide (SiC) detectors of various active volumes at UHDRs and systematically assesses their response to establish their suitability for dosimetry in FLASH-RT., Methods: SiC PiN junction detectors, recently realized and provided by STLab company, with different active areas (ranging from 4.5 to 10 mm 2 ) and thicknesses (10-20 µm), were irradiated using 9 MeV UHDR pulsed electron beams accelerated by the ElectronFLASH linac at the Centro Pisano for FLASH Radiotherapy (CPFR). The linearity of the SiC response as a function of the delivered dose per pulse (DPP), which in turn corresponds to a specific instantaneous dose rate, was studied under various experimental conditions by measuring the produced charge within the SiC active layer with an electrometer. Due to the extremely high peak currents, an external customized electronic RC circuit was built and used in conjunction with the electrometer to avoid saturation., Results: The study revealed a linear response for the different SiC detectors employed up to 21 Gy/pulse for SiC detectors with 4.5 mm 2 /10 µm active area and thickness. These values correspond to a maximum instantaneous dose rate of 5.5 MGy/s and are indicative of the maximum achievable monitored DPP and instantaneous dose rate of the linac used during the measurements., Conclusions: The results clearly demonstrate that the developed devices exhibit a dose-rate independent response even under extreme instantaneous dose rates and dose per pulse values. A systematic study of the SiC response was also performed as a function of the applied voltage bias, demonstrating the reliability of these dosimeters with UHDR also without any applied voltage. This demonstrates the great potential of SiC detectors for accurate dosimetry in the context of FLASH-RT., (© 2024 The Authors.

47. A Wireless Gamma-Ray Monitoring System for Cemented Radwaste Drums.

Author: Romoli M, Di Giovanni M, Di Meo P, Pandalone A, Principe C, Sabbarese C, D'Onofrio A, Prchal K, Záruba J, and Finocchiaro P
Abstract: In the framework of the PREDIS EU project, a wireless battery-operated gamma-ray detection system was developed in order to provide a medium-to-long-term monitoring system for radioactive waste drums. It was initially proposed to monitor the gamma radioactivity outcoming from steel drums containing cemented radwaste, even though it could be usefully employed in a wider range of applications. Gamma rays are penetrating and convey information from the drum's internal structure, as the count rate measured on the surface depends on the thickness and density of the crossed materials. A number of sensors arranged around a drum, typically four units, provide indications of the emission anisotropy, and any sensitive change in the measured count rate would hint at some anomaly, thus triggering a suitable inspection by operators.

Abstract: ^{140}Ce(n,γ) is a key reaction for slow neutron-capture (s-process) nucleosynthesis due to being a bottleneck in the reaction flow. For this reason, it was measured with high accuracy (uncertainty ≈5%) at the n_TOF facility, with an unprecedented combination of a high purity sample and low neutron-sensitivity detectors. The measured Maxwellian averaged cross section is up to 40% higher than previously accepted values. Stellar model calculations indicate a reduction around 20% of the s-process contribution to the Galactic cerium abundance and smaller sizeable differences for most of the heavier elements. No variations are found in the nucleosynthesis from massive stars.

49. Sensitivity of a mini-TEPC to radiation quality variations in clinical proton beams.

Author: Selva A, Bianchi A, Cirrone GAP, Petringa G, Romano F, Schettino G, and Conte V
Subjects: Protons, Radiometry methods, Relative Biological Effectiveness, Monte Carlo Method, Proton Therapy, Radiation Monitoring
Abstract: Purpose: This work aims at studying the sensitivity of a miniaturized Tissue-Equivalent Proportional Counter to variations of beam quality in clinical radiation fields, to further investigate its performances as radiation quality monitor., Methods: Measurements were taken at the CATANA facility (INFN-LNS, Catania, Italy), in a monoenergetic and an energy-modulated proton beam with the same initial energy of 62 MeV. PMMA layers were placed in front of the detector to measure at different depths along the depth-dose profile. The frequency- and dose-mean lineal energy were compared to the track- and dose-averaged LET calculated by Monte Carlo simulations. A microdosimetric evaluation of the Relative Biological Effectiveness (RBE) was performed and compared with cell survival experiments., Results: Microdosimetric distributions measured at identical depths in the two beams show spectral differences reflecting their different radiation quality. Discrepancies are most evident at depths corresponding to the Spread-Out Bragg Peak, while spectra at the entrance and in the dose fall-off regions are similar. This can be explained by the different energy components that compose the pristine and spread-out peaks at each depth. The trend of microdosimetric mean values matches that of calculated LET averages along the entire penetration depth, and the microdosimetric estimation of RBE is consistent with radiobiological data not only at 2 Gy but also at lower dose levels, such as those absorbed by healthy tissues., Conclusions: The mini-TEPC is sensitive to differences in radiation quality resulting from different modulations of the proton beam, confirming its potential for beam quality monitoring in proton therapy., Competing Interests: Declaration of competing interest The authors declare that they have no known competing financial interests or personal relationships that could have appeared to influence the work reported in this paper., (Copyright © 2023 Associazione Italiana di Fisica Medica e Sanitaria.

Abstract: Purpose: The use of Monte Carlo (MC) simulations capable of reproducing radiobiological effects of ionising radiation on human cell lines is of great importance, especially for cases involving protons and heavier ion beams. In the latter, huge uncertainties can arise mainly related to the effects of the secondary particles produced in the beam-tissue interaction. This paper reports on a detailed MC study performed using Geant4-based approach on three cancer cell lines, the HTB-177, CRL-5876 and MCF-7, that were previously irradiated with therapeutic proton and carbon ion beams., Methods: A Geant4-based approach used jointly with analytical calculations has been developed to provide a more realistic estimation of the radiobiological damage produced by proton and carbon beams in tissues, reproducing available data obtained from in vitro cell irradiations. The MC "Hadrontherapy" Geant4 application and the Local Effect Model: LEM I, LEM II and LEM III coupled with the different numerical approaches: RapidRusso (RR) and RapidScholz (RS) were used in the study., Results: Experimental survival curves are compared with those evaluated using the highlighted Geant4 MC-based approach via chi-square statistical analysis, for the combinations of radiobiological models and numerical approaches, as outlined above., Conclusion: This study has presented a comparison of the survival data from MC simulations to experimental survival data for three cancer cell lines. An overall best level of agreement was obtained for the HTB-177 cells., Competing Interests: Declaration of competing interest The authors declare that they have no known competing financial interests or personal relationships that could have appeared to influence the work reported in this paper., (Copyright © 2023 Associazione Italiana di Fisica Medica e Sanitaria.
