MEDICAL & INDUSTRIAL APPLICATIONS
Medical applications are a core activity of the group with historical collaborations (Centre François Baclesse (CFB/Caen), ARCHADE, Institut de Cancérologie Strasbourg Europe (ICANS/Strasbourg), Centre de Protonthérapie d’Orsay (CPO/Orsay)) around external photon beam radiotherapy, proton therapy and hadrontherapy
Dose measuring instruments
Ionizing radiation dosimetry through instrument design (dosimeters, contamination meters, beam monitors)
Effective sections & hadrontherapy
The measurement of effective sections for hadrontherapy (effective sections for the production of secondary fragments, production of transmitters β+)
Scientific computing applied to the medical field
Modelling of the effects of radiotherapy (probability of tumour control, risk of complication to healthy tissue), effective models of secondary fragment production
