ZAP-X / small-field reference dosimetry
Saße et al. (JACMP, 2025): kQmsr for PTW Semiflex 3D under ZAP-X reference conditions
The article addresses reference dosimetry in "non-classical" geometries (small SAD, low measurement depths) and provides kQmsr determinations by Monte Carlo including classification of the depth dependence and practical recommendations for robust measurement conditions.
AI-supported patient-specific QA (IMRT)
Looe et al (Medical Physics, 2025): Unified deep learning framework for PSQA
A unified deep learning framework is presented that combines large synthetic training data with measurement data fine-tuning. Goal: To automate PSQA workflows more and at the same time better capture machine-specific properties (forward and backward models).

Carbon ions: Reference dosimetry / kQ benchmarking
Stolzenberg(er) et al. (Physics in Medicine & Biology, 2025): kQ in C-ion fields with FLUKA vs. GATE/Geant4
Systematic benchmarking of two Monte Carlo toolchains for kQ of selected cylindrical and plane-parallel ionisation chambers. The focus is on comparability, component decomposition (e.g. chamber/perturbation fractions) and sources of uncertainty in ionisation reference dosimetry.

Planetary Defence / Atmospheric Entry (FRIPON context)
FRIPON International Team (Adrien Egal et al., Nature Astronomy, 2025): Catastrophic disruption of asteroid 2023 CX1
The paper provides a comprehensive "space-to-lab" characterisation of the event 2023 CX1 (13.02.2023) with multi-sensor observations (incl. FRIPON contributions) and discusses fragmentation behaviour and potential ground risks - relevant for planetary defence strategies.

Asteroid Photometry / Debiasing Methods
Tobias Hoffmann et al. (Icarus; arXiv): DePhOCUS - statistical corrections for de-biasing asteroid photometric data.
The aim is to reduce systematic effects (band/catalogue/observatory) in order to enable more reliable photometric parameters (e.g. H-sizes) and size/population statements derived from them.

JWST: Small main-belt asteroids / meteorite sources
Artem Y. Burdanov et al (Nature, 2025): JWST detections of very small main-belt asteroids
JWST-IR data are used to detect asteroids down to the decameter range; this results in new constraints on size distributions and indications of source regions that are also relevant for meteorite supply chains.
