Measuring the Impact of Nuclear Interaction in Particle Therapy and in Radio Protection in Space: the FOOT Experiment

In Charged Particle Therapy (PT) proton or 12C beams are used to treat deep-seated solid tumors exploiting the advantageous characteristics of charged particles energy deposition in matter.For such projectiles, the maximum of the dose is released at the end of the beam range, in the Bragg peak region, where the tumour is located.However, the nuclea
