The next block of carbon beamtime at the SIS high energy beam line / Cave M is scheduled from October 12 - 16. For limited time slots, therapy-like conditions, i.e. 3D-scanning capabilities, will be available for biology experiments, as usual during the last days.
In parallel, we will have carbon beam at the UNILAC / X6 during that period, preferentially during the first days from October 12 – October 14.
If you are interested in these beamtime, please fill the corresponding beamtime application form and send it back latest 4 weeks before the beamtime. Please keep in contact with your GSI-liason scientists for any details.

The kick-off meeting of the European training network in digital medical imaging for radiotherapy (ENTERVISION) project was held in Lyon (France) on February 4, 2011. ENTERVISION aims to reinforce research in online 3D digital imaging and the training of professionals in order to deliver some of the key elements and building blocks for realizing the vision for early detection and more precise treatment of tumours. ENTERVISION brings together ten academic institutes and research centers (including GSI) of excellence and one company (IBA). The network will train 12 ESR and 4 ER during a 48 month period. |
