Le Dû - NSS-MIC 07 Honolulu 40

41 Conclusion (1) Hadrontherapy is born thanks to the developmentsmade in the field of fundamental physics (Pioneer work at Berkeley, Uppsalla Fermi for Loma Linda Chiba, GSI ) Hadrontherapy benefits less and less of the investments done for fundamental physics NOW HADRONTERAPY IS A BUSINESS ($$$$$ ) Industrial competition (ACCEL/Varian,IBA,SIEMENS Involvement of Academic Laboratories more and more complex Even if some groups are still getting some money for fun Study exotic solutions following a French proverb : Why do it simple when we can make it complicated?
