Measurements of Helium cross-sections for Helium-ion therapy There is increasing interest in using helium ions for radiotherapy, complementary to protons and carbon ions. First patients have been already treated [...] treated. A large number of patients were treated with 4He ions in the US heavy-ion-therapy project, and novel 4He-ion treatment programs are under preparation, for instance in Germany and Japan. Therefore, [...] 4He ions colliding with 12C target nuclei [figure from F Horst [1]] Schematic (left) and photo (right) of the experimental setup used at HIT to measure nuclear reaction cross sections for 4He ions impinging
