Dedicated proton beams, which are modeling space proton environment for different earth orbits are created on proton therapy facilities. Another application of proton therapy beam is proton radiography. Proton radiography is a powerful tool for patient diagnostics and material testing. It allows us to reduce the dose to the patient in comparison with existing X-ray diagnostics technique and provides an advanced 3D image. For such technique further development of pixel semiconductor and optical fiber detectors is required and can be done in Australia.
Admission is Free.
