A detector and a method for tracking an arrival time of single particles in an ion beam are disclosed, wherein the single particles are provided as a bunch of ions by a synchrotron. Herein, the detector comprises a detector segment comprising a scintillating material, the scintillating material being designated for generating radiation upon passing of a single particle comprised by the bunch of ions through the scintillating material, wherein the scintillating material comprises a plurality of scintillating fibers, the scintillating fibers being provided as a fiber layer, wherein the fiber layer is located perpendicularly with respect to a direction of the incident ion beam; at least one detector element, the detector element being designated for generating a detector signal from the radiation; and at least one evaluation device, the evaluation device being designated for determining information about the single particles from the

The present invention relates to a composition for use in preventing migration of cancer cells in a subject known or suspected to suffer from cancer, the composition comprising at least one metal complex having the structure (I), formula (I), wherein M is a metal, preferably selected from the group consisting of copper, iron, manganese and zinc, X is Xa or Xb, wherein Xa is selected from the group consisting of O, S and—N (R1)—, wherein R1 is H or alkyl, and wherein Xb is a group forming a coordinate covalent bond to a second metal M′, preferably a group O, S or—N (R1)—, wherein M′ is preferably selected from the group consisting of copper, iron, manganese and zinc, and wherein M′ and M may be the same or different and are preferably the same, Z1 and Z2 are independently of each other a, substituted or unsubstituted,-Aryl-O—,-Aryl-N—or heteroaryl group, Y is Ya or Yb, wherein Ya is selected from the …
