Introduction
The rationale on potential advantages for using protons or carbons ions in radiation oncology was formulated in1946. However, the size and cost of accelerators required has postponed the launching of this field to the end of the 20th century. Since the last 15 years, many facilities have been projected, built and are now in operations [1]. After a first set of large facilities,...

Research laboratories, no matter what their size is, require more and more attention to the work organization, to the effectiveness of the technical procedures, to the traceability of the operations, to the interaction with users. All these actions will, at the end, result in an optimal benefits/cost performance, absolutely relevant in determining the impact of each laboratory on its reference...
