  1. LNS Fragmentation experiments Status Report C.Agodi TPS collaboration meeting Torino 5-6 novembre 2009

  2. LNS What is the contribution to Ion Therapy Treatment Planning ? The Treatment Planning Systems (TPS) is a complex computer system that helps both to design radiation treatments and to compute the dose to the patient. The optimal TPS should be interactive and evaluated in real time. Innovative contribution in this field is particularly needed in case of clinical ions beams. Computed Tomography Planning Treatment Volume Energy losses can be assessed via Monte Carlo simulation mainly to account for fragmentation nuclear processes. Cross section fragmentation data RBE table remodels the physical dose deposition including the hadron specificity Cross section fragmentation data

  3. Reaction at Intermediate energy Projectile Nuclei Fragmentation LNS Target Projectile fragmentation Reaction products : • have velocity near to the primary beam; • are emitted mostly in the forward direction • The detection system has to be efficient in the interest angular region

  4. LNS LNS Our Measurements at LNS: The Experiment Hodo small Hodo Big We already measured the 12C fragmentation on 197Au and 12C targets with 32 and 62 AMeV CS beams atLNS-INFN, Catania In 2010 we plan to use different beams up to 80 AMeV. Target An hodoscope (hodo big and hodo small) composed of two-fold and three-fold telescopes has been used for identify fragments produced in the reaction and measure the energy (θlabbetween 0° and ±20°) 12C beam from CS INFN Laboratory Nazionali del Sud , Catania - Sicily - Italy LNS – INFN, Catania Superconducting cyclotron

  11. GSI-GPAC: «Extensive study of nuclear reactions of interest for Medical and Space Applications»: S371 LNS

  12. Estimation of the systematic errors on momentum and angle as reconstructed with ALADIN Assuming that the dependence of the acceptance on Pt can be determined with a 20% error then all the slopes should be determined with an accuracy better than 2.5 %, in the worst case (Z = 2) We can get the goal of 3% error in Double Differential Cross Section

  13. Fragmentation measurements at GSI LNS The G-PAC approved with high priority the key measurements: • C+C @ 0.2, 0.4 and 1.0 AGeV • C+Au @ 0.2, 0.4 AGeV • O+C @ 0.2, 0.4 AGeV

  15. projectile Outer radiation fields projectile fragment New mixed inner radiation field ! target target fragment Interaction of the radiation with the spacecraft hulls, the body... Target Fragments Projectile fragments … lower charge… lower charge than target than primaries … high LET … mixed LET … short ranges … long ranges LNS 12C Fragmentation measurements In order to perform a systematic study of projectile fragmentation intermediate energies, we measured the 12C fragmentation cross section on different targets at 32 and 62 AMeV at LNS.

  16. LNS Sezione d’urto di produzione di particelle cariche ( particelle α) CONFRONTO PRELIMINARE – DATI LNS (12C at 62 AMeV) In generale miglior accordo con il JQMD con le nostre modifiche . Resta comunque una discrepanza notevole nella parte intermedia dello spettro

  17. Why fragmentation measurement in hadrontherapy? LNS • Light ions Advantages • Better Spatial selectivity in dose deposition: Bragg Peak • Reduced lateral and longitudinal diffusion • High Conformal dose deposition • High Biological effectiveness • Treatment of highly radiation resistent tumours, sparing surrounding OAR Disadvantages • Fall of dose in the tumour target region • Unwanted dose in normal tissue behind the target volume An extensive database on nuclear fragmentation cross sections and fluences are needed at therapeutic energy region

  18. Dose over the Bragg Peak : p ~ 1-2 % C ~ 15 % Ne ~ 30 % LNS Disadvantages of carbon ions Nuclear Fragmentation of 12C beam in the interaction processes with: • energydegraders, • biological tissues Further problem different biological effectiveness of the fragments Mitigation and attenuation of the primary beam Production of fragments with higher range vs primary ions

  19. LNS Carbon ions advantages Lower lateral and longitudinal diffusion vs. proton More precise energy deposition • Optimal RBE profile - penetration depth position. • Online PET for depth deposition monitoring • Good Compromise between RBE and OER.

The Hodo-big, set up at a distance of 0.6 m from the target, consisted of 89 three-fold telescopes 50 µm + 300 µm Silicon detectors both having 3x3 cm2 surface followed by a 6 cm long CsI(Tl)of the same surface. It covered the angular range θlabbetween ±4.5° and ±20°
