Physics against cancer
Cancer Treatment, Radiation Oncology, PSI, Pencil Beam Scanning, History of Medicine Modern proton therapy is saving the lives of more and more children and adults with difficult-to-treat cancers. The spectacular rise of proton therapy might never have happened if it were not for the pioneering work of the Paul Scherrer Institute – a Swiss centre founded to explore physics and the nature of matter, but which turned its understanding of basic science into applications that would benefit mankind. This is the place that pioneered a technique of delivering protons to tumours called pencil beam scanning (also known as spot scanning) – now used in nearly every proton therapy centre in the worl...
Shadow Fight(s)
The author investigates his hatred of his long since passed away father. He hated him and survived him. He tries to approach his late father by drawing an as objective as possible portrait of him. This man who came to Switzerland from Germany in 1937. Switzerland became his exile. In Switzerland he marries a Swiss lady and history takes its course. In the interest of an intimate clarity beyond the biographical facts, the story is freely invented and fluidly told in relentless openness from a wide variety of perspectives and condenses into a humorous family and social novel that does not hide the fact, that the son's supposed hatred of his father maskes his longing for his father's love.
The Politics and Technology of Nuclear Proliferation
Politics and technology intersect in the international effort to prevent nuclear proliferation. Written for scientists, policy makers, journalists, students, and concerned citizens, The Politics and Technology of Nuclear Proliferation makes a highly complex subject understandable. This comprehensive overview provides information about both the basic technologies and the political realities. Methods of producing weapon materials—plutonium and highly enriched uranium—as well as their use in bombs are described in detail, as is the generally successful international effort to prevent the spread of the ability to make nuclear weapons. In explaining the problems the world will face if nuclear weapons become generally available, Mozley summarizes and reviews the methods used to prevent proliferation and describes the status of those nations involved in trade in nuclear materials. He places emphasis on the danger of attack by renegade nations or terrorist groups, particularly the possibility that weapon material might be stolen from the presently impoverished and unstable former Soviet Union.

The Accelerator Facilities at the Paul Scherrer Institute PSI
The Paul Scherrer Institute in Villigen Switzerland is the largest Research Institute in Switzerland. It has four worldclass accelerators: two Proton Cyclotrons and two Electron Accelerators. They produce beams of neutrons, pions, muons and X-rays. These are used in Materials Sciences, Energy Research and Medical Applications. A special cyclotron is dedicated to irradiate tumours with protons. Over the last 22 years more than 8'000 cancer patients have been treated this way.
Schattenkämpfe
Der Autor geht seinem tatsächlich gelebten und heil überstandenen Hass auf seinen inzwischen verstorbenen Vater auf den Grund. Er bemüht sich, ein möglichst objektives Porträt seines Vaters zu zeichnen. Dieses Mannes, der 1937 aus Deutschland in die Schweiz kommt, die zu seinem Exil wird. Wo er eine Schweizerin heiratet und die Geschichte ihren Lauf nimmt. Im Interesse einer intimen Anschaulichkeit jenseits der biografischen Fakten wird die Geschichte in schonungsloser Offenheit aus den unterschiedlichsten Perspektiven frei erfunden und flüssig erzählt und verdichtet sich zu einem humorvollen Familien- und Gesellschaftsroman, der nicht verschweigt, dass der vermeintliche Hass des Sohnes auf den Vater die verkappte Sehnsucht nach der Liebe des Vaters ist.
