Minutes for UCL Proton Calorimetry Meeting, 29th March 2017 (D17, Physics & Astronomy, UCL)

Present

Simon Jolly, Laurent Kelleter, Anastasia Basharina-Freshville

ABF:

LK:

  • Looking at dose build-up effect in proton therapy and secondary particles.
    • Dose increases at start of X-ray depth dose curve due to short-range electron shower.
    • Effect present for protons but much smaller.
  • Managed to reproduce results over 10mm from Benjamin Tham's previous simulations.
  • Build-up effect present for both electrons and secondary hadrons, but build-up much shorter for electron shower (~1mm).
  • Will run simulations for 100MeV and 200MeV with higher statistics.
