Conceptual Design of a Novel Nozzle Combined with a Clinical Proton Linac for Magnetically Focussed Minibeams by Tim Schneider, Annalisa Patriarca, Alberto Degiovanni, Manuel Gallas, Yolanda Prezado

“…(1) Background: Proton minibeam radiation therapy (pMBRT) is a novel therapeutic approach with the potential to significantly increase normal tissue sparing while providing tumour control equivalent or superior to standard proton therapy. For reasons of efficiency, flexibility and minibeam quality, the optimal implementation of pMBRT should use magnetically focussed minibeams which, however, could not yet be generated in a clinical environment. …”
