MC8.U02: Materials Analysis and Modification

Invited Oral Presentation

Muons are generated at several accelerator-based facilities around the world and can be implanted into a wide range of materials, acting as a local probe of the surrounding atomic environment. By measuring the muon’s precession and relaxation can provide an understanding of the material of interest and, from this, unique information is obtained on the static and dynamic properties. This has...

877. First mixed He/C ion beams at a clinical facility: two years from concept to first ion imaging experiments (TUO8T01)

MC8.U01: Health & Biology

Contributed Oral Presentation

Patient irradiation with mixed 4He2+ and 12C6+ ion beams is a promising proposal for online monitoring in carbon ion therapy. Over the past years, major developments have enabled the generation of such beams at MedAustron, where they are now used in accelerator, detector, and medical physics research projects.

This contribution summarizes the key innovations that made this achievement...

1221. Accelerators activities at ENEA for aerospace (TUO8T02)

Giulia Bazzano (ENEA Frascati Research Centre)

MC8.U08: Radiation Effects

Contributed Oral Presentation

The ENEA Frascati Particle Accelerator Laboratory operates a set of S-band electron and proton linear accelerators providing beams relevant for radiation-effects studies in the aerospace sector. The TOP-IMPLART proton LINAC delivers low-energy (1–6 MeV) and high-energy (up to 71 MeV) beams, while the REX and TECHEA facilities supply 3.5–5 MeV and 1–3 MeV electron beams, respectively; both can...

2470. Mapping Global Collaboration in Accelerator Research (TUV8002)

Annabella Zamora (University of Lausanne)

MC8.U11: Outreach and Communications

Contributed Oral Presentation

This contribution examines particle accelerator research through a sociological lens, combining a database of 809 research facilities with a corpus of 256,227 accelerator-related publications from Web of Science to analyse how infrastructure distribution shapes scientific collaboration across regions and disciplines. The results reveal marked geographical asymmetries: some regions sustain...

130. Accelerator-based lithography and the Induction Storage Ring Light Source (WEI8M01)

Michael Ehrlichman (SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory)

MC8.A28: Applications: Industrial Accelerators

Invited Oral Presentation

Techniques for generating light with particle accelerators have so far proven difficult to industrialize. Accelerator-based light sources are typically housed at universities and national laboratories, which prioritize fundamental scientific discovery over economic and operational considerations like cost efficiency and 24/7 consistency. By contrast, EUV lithography in semiconductor...
