In this contribution, we review the state-of-the-art of
detector technologies applied to the particle therapy (PT) field.
The increase of interest in PT has recently triggered a lot of
efforts devoted to the improvement of all the treatment technological aspects. In this review, we have focused our attention on the
recent beam delivery monitoring developments and on the study
and implementation of the novel dosimetry and microdosimetry
techniques.

Recent updates of the E.U. Basic Safety Standards, stated in the Council Directive 2013/59/EURATOM, are focusing on risks related to radon gas concentration inside dwellings and working places, as well as radioactivity of building materials. In particular, the new E.U. Basic Safety Standards are based on last recommendations from the International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP), and from the World Health Organization, which consider that radon issues, and external irradiation from building material, as topic aspects to population’s health.

This contribution describes the irradiation set-up for electronic and space components testing with pulsed 30 MeV proton beam of high instantaneous dose rate provided by the TOP-IMPLART linear accelerator at ENEA Frascati Research Centre.
