Summary The Co-ordinated Research Project on "Heavy charged-particle interaction data for radiotherapy" has been initiated to provide nuclear data that quantifies heavy charged-particle interactions with materials relevant to radiotherapy, from beam generation and collimation to the interaction of the beams with patients and detectors. The recommended data will be carefully checked against experimental charged-particle interaction data and computer-based Monte Carlo simulations.

Announcements

The final Research Coordination Meeting will be held in Heidelberg, Germany on 22-26 November 2010.

22 Nov Monday will be devoted to visit HIT facilities and working discussion with local staff.

Next Conference Call scheduled for October 19, 2010 2pm Central European Time (GMT+1).

Deadline to submit draft of TECDOC contributions: October 8, 2010.
