The African clean energy-deforestation paradox: Examining the sustainability trade-offs of rural solar energy expansion in Zambia Open
Clean energy programmes increasingly promote solar in rural Africa to expand electricity access and reduce emissions. However, little is known about how off-grid households finance these systems or whether their financing pathways create n…

Radiation Response of Perfluorinated Polymer Optical Fibers (CYTOP) to Low Doses of X-Rays, Protons, and Neutrons Open
The response of perfluorinated polymer fibers (PF-POFs) in X-ray, proton, and neutron irradiation was investigated for their potential application in clinical environments. Radiation-induced attenuation (RIA) in PF-POF increases linearly w…

Range verification in heavy-ion therapy using a hadron tumour marker Open
Objective. A new method to estimate the range of an ion beam in a patient during heavy-ion therapy was investigated, which was previously verified for application in proton therapy. Approach. The method consists of placing a hadron tumour …

Improved sub-milimeter range-verification method for proton therapy using a composite hadron tumour marker (HTM) Open
Objective. The results of a follow-up experiment investigating a novel method for sub-milimetre range verification (RV) in proton therapy (PT) are presented. Approach. The method consists of implanting a hadron tumour marker (HTM) near the…

Single neutron transfer on 23Ne and its relevance for the pathway of nucleosynthesis in astrophysical X-ray bursts Open
We present new experimental measurements of resonance strengths in the astrophysical 23Al(p,γ)24Si reaction, constraining the pathway of nucleosynthesis beyond 22Mg in X-ray burster scenarios. Specifically, we have performed the first meas…

Intra- and inter-fraction relative range verification in heavy-ion therapy using filtered interaction vertex imaging Open
Heavy-ion therapy, particularly using scanned (active) beam delivery, provides a precise and highly conformal dose distribution, with maximum dose deposition for each pencil beam at its endpoint (Bragg peak), and low entrance and exit dose…

First Direct Measurement of an Astrophysical -Process Reaction Cross Section Using a Radioactive Ion Beam Open
We have performed the first direct measurement of the ^{83}Rb(p,γ) radiative capture reaction cross section in inverse kinematics using a radioactive beam of ^{83}Rb at incident energies of 2.4 and 2.7A MeV. The measured cross section at a…
