Minutes for UCL Proton Beam Therapy Group Meetings, 1st April

Present

Joe Bateman, Sonia Escribano, Matt Warren, Harry Barnett, Simon Jolly

Matt Warren

  • String of 8 DDC boards seems to work but only if integration is greater than 600 otherwise overlaps - so need to find ways to make faster

Simon Jolly

  • Prague PTC planned measurements
    • Shoot through calibrations
    • Pristine Bragg peaks
    • SOBP treatment plan
    • WET measurement at same time as shoot through calibrations
    • Moving couch to ensure perfectly straight beams at different lateral positions
    • 30,000 measurements ~ 5 secs for pristine Bragg peaks


Sonia Escribano

  • To-do list prepared for Prague
  • Fake-generated data to check “live acquisition” calibration and firing
  • For long runs not possible to kill acquisition from GUI (I.e. stop button stops calibration and fitting) - need to access to ftdi from GUI which is blocked by web servers
  • On patch panel of Peli case in case pi’s don’t work and need to use DAQ laptop
