  • Beschreibung: <jats:title>Abstract</jats:title> <jats:p>The FOOT (FragmentatiOn Of Target) experiment is an international project designed to carry out the fragmentation cross-sectional measurements relevant for charged particle therapy (CPT), a technique based on the use of charged particle beams for the treatment of deep-seated tumors.

The first data taking was performed in 2019 at the GSI facility (Darmstadt, Germany).

The charge identification is based on the controlled fading of nuclear emulsions in order to extend their dynamic range in the ionization response.</jats:p>
