FRPT PRE-CONFERENCE INTRODUCTION

13:15-14:00

THE BASICS OF PHYSICS APPLIED TO FLASH AND SFRT

Speaker: Jan Schuemann (USA)

Learning objectives: What accelerators are available for FLASH and SFRT, what is needed for future clinical developments? What are the dosimetry procedures available? What are the developments for TPS? Identify relevant research questions.

14:00-14:45

THE BASICS OF RADIATON CHEMISTRY APPLIED TO FLASH AND SFRT

Speaker: Emanuele Scifoni (Italy)

Learning objectives: Why Radiation Chemistry -experimental and theoretical - is useful to investigate FLASH and SFRT mechanisms, and what we learned so far. Which tools do we have at hand today (simulation codes, experimental systems). Which are the major challenges and open questions we cannot solve.

14:45-15:15

COFFEE BREAK & NETWORKING TIME

15:15-16:00

THE BASICS OF BIOLOGY APPLIED TO FLASH AND SFRT

Speaker: Marie-Catherine Vozenin (Switzerland)

Learning objectives: What do we know today on the impact of FLASH and SFRT on normal tissues and tumors. Identify/develop relevant models. Identify relevant research questions.
