FLASH Irradiation with Proton Beams: Beam Characteristics and Their Implications for Beam Diagnostics
FLASH irradiations use dose-rates orders of magnitude higher than commonly used in patient treatments. Such irradiations have shown interesting normal tissue sparing in cell and animal experiments, and, as such, their potential application to clinical practice is being investigated. Clinical acceler...
