Abstract
Any kind of sculpted particle beams from high-energy photons (X-rays and gamma rays), electrons, protons, neutrons to various atomic nuclei and more exotic species have been used to treat cancer. The development of a next generation of accelerators to face the challenges and issues of Particle Therapy is crucial. What are the most promising accelerator techniques, particles or dose delivery modes?

期刊介绍:
Europhysics News is the magazine of the European physics community. It is owned by the European Physical Society and produced in cooperation with EDP Sciences. It is distributed to all our Individual Members and many institutional subscribers. Most European national societies receive EPN for further distribution. The total circulation is currently about 25000 copies per issue. It aims to provide physicists at all levels, ranging from post graduate students to senior managers working in both industry and the public sector, with a balanced overview of the scientific and organizational aspects of physics and related disciplines at a European level. Sections covered: ◦Activities ◦Features ◦News and views
