Important application of the concept of range of a particle in the medical field.
Hadron therapy
§ is the most recent relative of conventional radiotherapy, which uses X-‐rays.
§ uses beams of protons, carbon ions or neutrons.
Protons accelerated to 200MeV or carbon ions accelerated to 4.7 GeV may be used to irradiate deep tumors by following the tumor contour with millimetric precision, allowing one to preserve the surrounding healthy tissue.
§
The accelerated hadrons are able to destroy sick tissue mostly at the end of their range in the body of the patient, where the tumor is situated
A beam of charged hadrons releases the greatest part of its destructive energy on the target tumor.
§
The dose received at the tumor can therefore be very high while the healthy tissue is saved.
¡
19/03/15 F. Ould-Saada
Unlike electrons or X-‐rays, the dose from protons to tissue is maximum just over the last few millimeters of the particle’s range.
14
¡
¡
¡
¡
In a typical treatment plan for proton therapy, the spread out Bragg peak (SOBP, dashed blue line), is the therapeutic radiation distribution.
The SOBP is the sum of several individual
Bragg peaks (thin blue lines) at staggered depths.
The depth-‐dose plot of an x-‐ray beam (red line) is provided for comparison.
The pink area represents additional doses of x-‐ray radiotherapy—which can damage to normal tissues …

Mass resolution at LEP:

But the initial state constraints can be used.
Worse resolutions at the Tevatron and LHC
-‐ Measure the muon momentum vector in the tracker.
-‐ Then filter out all hadrons and remeasure the muon in the flux return of the magnet.
-‐ Multiple redundant measurements are needed in searching for rare processes.

tracking -‐ Si + ionization in a magnetic field, scintillator sampling calorimetry, (EM -‐ e ,

HAD -‐ h ),
§ and ionization tracking for muon measurements.
Missing energy indicates
