Abstract
Experimental particle physics and accelerator physics are crucial fields in science and play important role to test theories and derive limits of models describing natural phenomena and fundamental interactions. These two fields are linked and can be combined together to give birth to a new practical branch known as applied physics. One example is Medical Physics. In this branch an experimental physicist uses physics principles, available technologies and methods to undergo R&Ds for the diagnostics, for the prevention and treatment of human diseases with a goal of improving the human well-being.
In this presentation we talk about two distinct topics in experimental physics where the common denominator is "in a more efficient way". The first one concerns the event-based timing system of an ERL -Energy Recovery Linac- (Accelerator Physics). The second part focuses on the quality assurance of a proton therapy (Medical Physics).
