To Do

MC Simulations

Dose Reconstruction

  • Reconstructing UCLH 04-5/2024 QuADProBe Beam Test Dose Distributions - mainly SOBP and 3x3x7 cm^3 box field using TOPAS (via CVMFS on HEP Cluster) and FRED (locally for now, but eventually over Hypatia GPU cluster).
  • Disagreement between depth dose curve for FRED and TOPAS (using default physics settings) - agreement in plateau but FRED has sharper and higher Bragg Peak
    • Only an issue when there's an energy spread in the pencil beam (i.e. PDD's agree almost perfectly for a mono energetic beam with no spread) - likely to do with energy straggling?
  • Investigating physics lists and in touch with Maestro o attempt to solve discrepancy (currently taking TOPAS as ground truth)

QuARC & QuADProBe Geant4 Simulations

  • Get Saads QuARC G4 simulation working
  • Look at QuADProBe simulation from Raffy.

Fibres

  • Consider potential ways of calibrating fibre to PD coupling.
    • Using Geant4 sim?
    • Scanning diode or uniform light source?
  • Hassle Simon about Hamamatsu PD arrays !!!
  • Prepare slides about DAQ systems for existing fibre / fibre array detectors


Conference Abstracts

  • PTCOG - decided not to submit for standard but possibility of late breaking if have beam test beforehand
  • PPRIG - submitted

Papers

  • Possible paper on UCLH beam test MC reconstructions?
