Conference

Very High Energy Electron Radiotherapy Conference (VHEE23)

The use of Very High Energy (50-250 MeV) Electron (VHEE) beams for Radiotherapy, and furthermore involving ultra-high dose rate (>=100 Gy/s) delivery or FLASH radiotherapy (FLASH-RT) is at present a consolidated R&D topic in many laboratories around the world. A lot of progresshas been made since the VHEE20, it is timely to have a VHEE23. This time the meeting we will be in person at DESY-Hamburg where a new electron linac ARES (https://ares.desy.de/) is being prepared for “in vivo” experiments at high-energy. Hybrid zoom participation will also be possible. The list of topics to be explored are: • Current State of the Art • Treatment Planning, Modelling and Imaging • Current conventional facilities at intermediate (ELBE, PITZ, Flastron IC , Antwarpen..) and high (CLEAR, CLARA, ARES, ..) energies • Current and future non-conventional facilities LPA (DRACO, CALA, LOA, KALDERA) • Planned future facilities (DEFT, FRIDA,...) • Accelerators R&D and Technologies: distributed coupling, cryogenic copper, millimetric waves or THz sources... • Interest from Industries PhD students and young researchers are invited to submit abstracts to be presented during a dedicated poster session. Best posters will have the possibility to present their work in a short oral presentation. Industries are also welcome to participate in a special industrial session.
