Prompt gamma spectroscopy for range control with CeBr3

Prompt gamma spectroscopy for range control with CeBr3

The ultimate goal of radiotherapy using external beams is to maximize the dose delivered to the tumor while minimizing the radiation given to surrounding healthy critical organs. Prompt Gamma Spectroscopy (PGS) has been proposed for range control of particle beams along with the determination of the...
