Meson factories, pi meson delivery, and pi meson dosimetry for cancer therapy

Conference ·
OSTI ID:4337084
The meson therapy research program at the Los Alamos Meson Physics Facility (LAMPF) is briefly described. It is stated that tests will start on a magnetic collection channel for pions at LAMPF within one or two months, and the biomedical pion channel is described. The problems encountered in pion dosimetry are briefly discussed. (WDK)
