Target Fragmentation News Today

Newport News VA (SPX) Apr 20, 2023 - In a unique analysis of experimental data, nuclear physicists have made the first-ever observations of how lambda particles, so-called strange matter, are produced by a specific process called sem

New findings from Jefferson Laboratory shed light on the process of forming strange matter from ordinary matter. Nuclear physicists have made a groundbreaking discovery through their unique analysis of experimental data. For the first time ever, they have observed the production of lambda particles

Objective. In the present hadrontherapy scenario, there is a growing interest in exploring the capabilities of different ion species other than protons and carbons. The possibility of using different ions paves the way for new radiotherapy approaches, such as the multi-ions treatment, where radiation could vary according to target volume, shape, depth and histologic characteristics of the tumor. For these reasons, in this paper, the study and understanding of biological-relevant quantities was e...
