Hadron therapy, because of the dosimetric and radiobiological advantages, is more and more often used in tumour treatment. This treatment method leads also to the radioactive effects induced by energetic protons on nuclei. Nuclear reactions may lead to the production of radioactive isotopes. In the present experiment, two animal (human-like) tissue samples were irradiated with 60 MeV protons. Gamma-ray spectroscopy and lifetime measurements allowed identifying isotopes produced during the irradiation, e.g. 18F and 34mCl.
