Schematic
Experiment Plan
- Set up mains cabling and networking in treatment and control rooms.
- no beam
- Install Peli case on treatment couch.
- no beam
- Background
- no beam
- Calibration shoot-through measurements of 4 stack modules: either rotating case or modules for back shoot-through.
- 8 beam deliveries (2 beam deliveries (back and forth) per each module):
- Pristine Bragg peak measurements at clinical current for full clinical range.
- FLASH measurements at 245 MeV.
Calibration FLASH
DDC232 FSR should be determined at max beam current starting from minimum FSR value that does not give signal saturation. This could require 2 or 3 beam deliveries.
