| Summary: | Biomedical applications at high-energy particle accelerators have always been an important section of the applied nuclear physics research. Several new facilities are now under constructions or undergoing major upgrades. Whilst the main goal of these facilities is often basic research in nuclear physics, they acknowledge the importance of including biomedical research program and of interacting with other medical accelerator facilities providing patient treatments. To harmonize the programs, avoid duplications and foster collaboration and synergism, the International Biophysics Collaboration is providing a platform to several accelerator centers with interest in biomedical research. In this paper we summarize the programs of various facilities in running, upgrade, or construction phase. |
