Abstract

Hyperon Studies and Development of Forward Tracker for HADES Detector

Highlights

  • The increasing numbers of proton facilities and successful proton treatments [1] indicate that the relevance of Proton Beam Therapy (PBT) as a technique for tumor radiation therapy is rapidly growing

  • We study the feasibility of Jagiellonian-positron emission tomography (PET) detector technology for proton beam therapy range monitoring by means of Monte Carlo (MC) simulations of the β+ activity induced in a phantom-by-proton beams and present preliminary results of PET image reconstruction

  • It is calculated as DRBE = D × RBE, where D is the physical dose expressed in Gy and RBE is the Relative Biological Effectiveness

INVESTIGATIONS ON PHYSICAL AND BIOLOGICAL RANGE UNCERTAINTIES IN KRAKÓW PROTON BEAM THERAPY CENTRE∗. Physical and biological range uncertainties limit the clinical potential of Proton Beam Therapy (PBT). In these proceedings, we report on two research projects, which we are conducting in parallel and which both tackle the problem of range uncertainties. We report on our development and pre-clinical application of a GPU-accelerated Monte Carlo (MC) simulation toolkit Fred. Concerning the letter, we report on our investigations of plastic-scintillator-based PET detectors for particle therapy delivery monitoring. Using a GPU-accelerated Monte Carlo simulation toolkit Fred and plastic-scintillator-based PET detectors, we aim at improving the patient treatment quality with protons
