- Colleagues at the Paul Scherrer Institute are developing a way to achieve higher doses and shorter treatment times for cancer patients undergoing proton therapy. Using momentum cooling replaces the slit found in conventional proton therapy energy selection systems with a wedge that converts the spread of energies to a lower energy, keeping lower energies low while shifting higher energies to lower ones.

- Early bird registration closes next week on August 10th for the CARO-COMP Joint Scientific Meeting! Join us in Montreal for Interprofessional Collaboration: Better Together! *COMP Members – check your email for the COMP registration code.
