PEPITES brings together researchers, engineers, and technicians, members of Laboratoire Leprince-Ringuet (LLR, CRNS/IN2P3-Ecole polytechnique, UMR7638).
The project aims at developing ultra-thin monitors for charged particles beams.
Originally developed for protontherapy, this type of monitor could fit a multitude of charged particle beams, and would be particularly suited for future FLASH therapy modalities.
A patent of the proposed technology has been filed.
