II.17 - Physics and accelerators for particle therapy / Schippers, Jacobus Maarten (PSI, Villigen ; UMCG)
At the Paul Scherer Institute (PSI) radiation therapy is performed by means of proton beams. Proton therapy is one of the particle therapies, in which energetic ions (mostly protons and carbon ions) are used to treat cancer patient by irradiating the tumor with high precision. [...]

II.18 - Life-cycle and operability of particle accelerators / Meyroneinc, Samuel (Inst. Curie, Paris)
Particle accelerators are used to generate particle beams for different kinds of use. Operability must be easy and simple for an industrial version with a high Technological Readiness Level (TRL), or complex and critical for large single accelerators designed for new research objectives. [...]

II.13 - Radiation safety / Queralt, Xavier (Rutherford Appleton Laboratory)
The purpose of this lecture is to provide insight into the importance of managing ionising radiation hazard. Unfortunately, this hazard cannot be removed when operating with accelerators, and the level of the risk depends on the type and usage of the accelerators. Understanding why radiation safety is needed and the lessons learned from serious accidents involving the ionising radiation hazard is essential.

II.14 - Applications of low-energy accelerators / Mondelaers, Willy (Gent U.)
Particle accelerators have been invented and developed almost exclusively as tools for the exploration of the subatomic world. In the wake of these big high-energy facilities, about forty-five thousand small accelerators are at work every day, almost unnoticed. These accelerators, which represent about 95% of all accelerators operating worldwide, have an energy not larger than 50 MeV [...]

II.12 - Accelerator controls / Zimoch, Elke (PSI, Villigen)
All particle accelerators depend on control systems to integrate different devices and the autonomous controllers that are distributed throughout the facility into one coherent infrastructure. The control system provides an abstraction layer between hardware and the operators, and creates the environment that allows scientists to carry out their experiments. [...]

II-15 - High-power proton linacs / Eshraqi, Mamad (ESS, Lund)
High-power proton linacs are envisaged as drivers for numerous applications, such as neutron spallation sources for condensed matter study, neutrino factories, muon colliders, hybrid systems for transmutation or energy production, production of rare isotope beams for nuclear physics studies, etc. These linear accelerators are intended to deliver proton beams of up to several MW and tens of MW power and operate with CW or pulsed high-intensity beams.
