Minutes for UCL Proton Beam Therapy Group Meetings, 18th September
Present
Joe Bateman, Sonia Escribano, Febian, Simon Jolly, Raffaella Radogna (via zoom)
Raffaella Radogna
- Pushing for masters student to complete analysis of SciFi monitor (but not with protons from Linear Beam)
- It is okay for measurement of the beam spot position through the centroid of the cluster
- Beam size measurements very sensitive to geometric variation between coupling between pixels and fibres - need to find a way to calibrate fibre response
- Pixel sharing between fibres due to pixel pitch
- Potential calibration method through shining collimated light onto each of the fibres
- Noticing reduced intensity on the central pixels
- Has travel money to use up before end of 2024 - plans to come to UCL.
- w/b of 28th October to look at SciFi tracker and discuss integrated design
- Possible second trip in December for beam test if new electronics and scintillator sheets are ready
Febian
- Upcoming CDT event on 24/10 to present a 2 minute presentation and poster
Joseph Bateman
- Working on scripting for sourcing the relevant environments to run Geant4 via CVMFS on the cluster.
- Joe and Simon had meeting w/ Ilaria and Giorgio from Maastro to discuss more about FRED-MC for dose reconstruction from QuADProBe measurements and the hardware requirements etc.
Sonia Escribano
- Preparing a talk for the Science Slam session at the DKFZ Medical Physics Summer School
- Suggestions for QuARC Calibration Issues:
- Compare the method Saad was using and the new method with the old shoot through files
- Check with the Manchester and PARTREC data
- To check up on status of scintillators and follow up with Harry & Martin
Simon Jolly
- Harry has been in charge of dealing with scintillator sheets but has been occupied by SuperNEMO
- Have rough cuts from nuvia - either go to Daytron high precision machinery or to someone who has one of these machines. Daytron can do better 10 um flatness
- Need Martin to machine the flatness
- Things needed to sort before next beam test:
- Oxford to do small changes to zmod board
- Pete Hastings have new ddc boards
- New scintillators for a full stack -
- If doing full QuADProBe test only need two stacks
- Plan for PTCOG Argentina Talk:
- Full 3D treatment plan MC reconstruction with log file data and QuADProBe measurements at Maastro and at PSI
- Unsure whether SciFi tracker will be available so will likely have to use Tony's CMOS sensor again if available.
- Aim for QuARC beam test before end of 2024 - at UCLH
