A Monte Carlo Determination of Dose and Range Uncertainties for Preclinical Studies with a Proton Beam

A Monte Carlo Determination of Dose and Range Uncertainties for Preclinical Studies with a Proton Beam

Proton therapy (PRT) is an irradiation technique that aims at limiting normal tissue damage while maintaining the tumor response. To study its specificities, the ARRONAX cyclotron is currently developing a preclinical structure compatible with biological experiments. A prerequisite is to identify an...
