Title“From high-energy astrophysics to medical physics”
Abstractamma-ray observations during the past 20 years have revealed an astonishingly rich picture of the high-energy Universe.
The combination of ground-based and space-based instruments have advanced our understanding of the physics of the accelerators and the methodology with which we extract information.
In this talk, I will present my personal path through within this international efforts and will summarise my current view on the status of high-energy astrophysics.
At the same time, I will describe projects that transfer some of the technology we are developing into other areas such as medical physics.
