1. ADVANCING DYNAMIC TRAJECTORY RADIOTHERAPY EXPLORING ROBUSTNESS FOR TREATMENT PLANNING AND MANAGING MOTION FOR DELIVERY 

   Loebner, Hannes A. (2024)

   Abstract About one in three individuals will develop cancer during their lives which makes cancer a leading cause of death. Fortunately, advances in diagnosing and treating cancer in the last century have improved patient survival and treatment outcome. Modern cancer treatment is based on three pillars. Radiotherapy, alongside surgery and chemotherapy, is prescribed to almost every second cancer patient as a single or combined treatment ...

   Loebner, Hannes A.; Bertholet, Jenny; Mackeprang, Paul-Henry; et al. (2024)

   Physics and Imaging in Radiation Oncology

   Background and purpose Dynamic trajectory radiotherapy (DTRT) has been shown to improve healthy tissue sparing compared to volumetric arc therapy (VMAT). This study aimed to assess and compare the robustness of DTRT and VMAT treatment-plans for head and neck (H&N) cancer to patient-setup (PS) and machine-positioning uncertainties. Materials and methods The robustness of DTRT and VMAT plans previously created for 46 H&N cases, prescribed ...

4. Employing nitrogen-vacancy centers in diamond for scanning probe microscopy from cryogenic to room temperature 

   Ernst, Stefan (2024)

   The negatively charged nitrogen-vacancy (NV) center is a crystal lattice defect in diamond. It exhibits a spin-1 ground state that is widely used in quantum metrology and quantum information. This prominence stems from its favorable spin and optical properties, which span a wide temperature range from zero to over 600K. In the field of scanning probe microscopy, for example, the NV center is used as a quantum sensor that is raster-scanned ...

5. Analysis of the global atmospheric background sulfur budget in a multi-model framework 

   Brodowsky C.V.; Sukhodolov T.; Chiodo G.; et al. (2024)

   Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics

   A growing number of general circulation models are adapting interactive sulfur and aerosol schemes to improve the representation of relevant physical and chemical processes and associated feedbacks. They are motivated by investigations of climate response to major volcanic eruptions and potential solar geoengineering scenarios. However, uncertainties in these schemes are not well constrained. Stratospheric sulfate is modulated by emissions ...
