A Corrigendum on
FLASH Radiotherapy With Electrons: Issues Related to the Production, Monitoring, and Dosimetric Characterization of the Beam

by Fabio, D. M., Patrizio, B., Salvatore, B., Eleonora, B., Rita, B., Silvia, D. S., Massimo, D. F., Luigi, G., Stefania, L., Daniela, M., Matteo, P., and Giuseppe, F. (2020). Front. Phys. 8:481. doi: 10.3389/fphy.2020.570697

In the original article, the following authors were missing: Luigi Faillace, Lucia Giuliano, Mauro Migliorati, Luigi Palumbo. The corrected Author Contributions statement appears below.

Affiliation 3, ‘Sapienza University of Rome, Rome, Italy’, is also added for authors LF, LG, MM, and LP.

The authors apologize for these errors and state that this does not change the scientific conclusions of the article in any way. The original article has been updated.

Author Contributions

FM and GF designed the study. FM, LGr, and GF wrote the manuscript. LF, LGi, MM, and LP performed the RF and beam dynamics simulations for the accelerating waveguide. All authors discussed the manuscript and performed the experimental job. All authors contributed to the article and approved the submitted version.

Conflict of Interest

SB, SD, MD, GF, LGr, and MP are SIT employees; GF is a SIT shareholder. LF, LGi, MM, and LP work was partially financed by a SIT research contract. Nonetheless, they confirm that this does not affect the design and preparation of the paper neither the analysis nor the interpretation of data.

The remaining authors declare that the research was conducted in the absence of any commercial or financial relationships that could be construed as a potential conflict of interest.

Keywords: radiotherapy, FLASH effect, FLASH electron linac, beam monitoring system, saturation problems
