Swiss researchers have developed a new technology that can efficiently generate medical proton beams to improve the efficiency of tumor removal with proton therapy. Experiments have shown that only 0.27 per cent of the protons produced by the accelerator used to be eventually used for treatment, and the new technology has increased the proportion to 0.5 per cent. This means that the intensity of the generated medical proton beam is increased, and the treatment irradiation time can be shortened by nearly half.
