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

  • PPRIG - submitted

Papers

  • Submit QuADProBe PSQA paper for Frontiers in Oncology special edition: Technology Developments in Proton Therapy by end of July

Completed

MC Simulations

Dose Reconstruction

  • TOPAS Simulations fully working on cluster and used to reconstruct 3D dose distributions from QuADProBe UCLH Beam Test 2024 for frontiers paper.
  • FRED-MC working on old MacBook Air (2020) intel processor and matches TOPAS simulations. Doesn't run on new MacBook Pro as not compatible with apple silicon.

QuARC & QuADProBe Geant4 Simulations

  • Saads QuARC G4 simulation working and added scoring onto left and right sides

Fibres

  • Had two meetings with Blake Leverington and Julian Horne from Heidelberg on replicating/adapting the design of the frontend readout system of their fibre array monitor.
  • Have so far received assembly drawings, technical description booklet, schematics and slides.
  • Hamamatsu making S17285-128G digital readout photodiode arrays with samples expected to be ready in September 2025.

Conference Abstracts

Conference Talks

  • Talk given at PPRIG 03/05

Papers

  • First draft of QuADProBe PSQA paper for Frontiers in Oncology special edition: Technology Developments in Proton Therapy completed
