Computational modelling of γ-H2AX foci formation in human cells induced by alpha particle exposure by Ali Abu Shqair, Ui-Seob Lee, Eun-Hee Kim

“…The correction factor for foci number was calculated using the foci overlapping ratio and foci size distribution, which are specific to dose from alpha particle exposure. The number of individual foci formations induced by applying the correction factor to the experimentally observed number of focal images better reflected the quality of alpha particles in causing DNA damage. …”

Kinetic Features of Alpha Particles in a Pestchek-like Magnetic Reconnection Event in the Solar Wind Observed by Solar Orbiter by Die Duan, Jiansen He, Xingyu Zhu, Rui Zhuo, Ziqi Wu, Georgios Nicolaou, Jia Huang, Daniel Verscharen, Liu Yang, Christopher J. Owen, Andrey Fedorov, Philippe Louarn, Timothy S. Horbury

“…We find a two-population distribution of the alpha particles. These two populations are field aligned downstream the SSs and shift to have a perpendicular offset in the reconnection jet, suggesting that the change of the magnetic field at the RDs has similar timescales with the proton gyroperiod, but faster than those of the alpha particles, such that the alpha particles behave like pickup ions.…”

Anti-Tumor Efficacy of PD-L1 Targeted Alpha-Particle Therapy in a Human Melanoma Xenograft Model by Marisa Capitao, Justine Perrin, Sylvain Simon, Sébastien Gouard, Nicolas Chouin, Frank Bruchertseifer, Alfred Morgenstern, Latifa Rbah-Vidal, Michel Chérel, Emmanuel Scotet, Nathalie Labarrière, Yannick Guilloux, Joëlle Gaschet

“…Because of its expression on the tumor cells and on immunosuppressive cells within the tumor microenvironment, PD-L1 represents an interesting target for targeted alpha-particle therapy (TAT). We developed a TAT approach in a human melanoma xenograft model that stably expresses PD-L1 using a ²¹³Bi-anti-human-PD-L1 mAb. …”

Dependence of alpha-particle-driven Alfvén eigenmode linear stability on device magnetic field strength and consequences for next-generation tokamaks by Tolman, Elizabeth Ann, Gomes Loureiro, Nuno F, Rodrigues, P., Hughes, J.W., Marmar, Earl S.

“…AEs are sensitive to device magnetic field via the field dependence of resonances, alpha particle beta, and alpha orbit width. We describe the origin and effect of these dependences analytically and by using recently-developed numerical techniques (Rodrigues et al 2015 Nucl. …”

Do the various radiations present in BNCT act synergistically? Cell survival experiments in mixed alpha-particle and gamma-ray fields. by Phoenix, B, Green, S, Hill, M, Jones, B, Mill, A, Stevens, D

“…An irradiation setup has been created at the Medical Research Council in Harwell to allow simultaneous irradiation of cells by cobalt-60 gamma rays and plutonium-238 alpha-particles. The setup allows for variation of dose and dose rates for both sources along with variation of the alpha particle energy. …”
