The 8th Auger Symposium was attended by 30 scientists from 8 countries, and began with a presentation by Michel Terrisol which featured an old video clip of Pierre Auger. This was followed by the with a keynote address by Roger Martin who gave an insightful overview of the progress of Auger research towards clinical translation over the past 50 years. The conference lecture was presented by Katherine Vallis, emphasized the applications of Auger emitters in cancer therapy. Symposium participants contributed over 30 presentations, reporting their latest findings, and participating in lively discussions and information exchange spanning physics, dosimetry, molecular and cellular radiobiology, in vivo therapy, photon activation, spectroscopy and low energy electrons. To close the symposium, a meeting summary was given by Linda Yasui.}, pages = {614--615}, publisher = {Informa Healthcare}, title = {The 8th Auger Symposium: Preface}, volume = {92}, year = {2016} }
