A Simple Approach for Experimental Characterization and Validation of Proton Pencil Beam Profiles

A precise characterization of therapeutic proton pencil beams is essential for the commissioning of any treatment planning system (TPS). The dose profile characterization includes measurement of the beam lateral dose profile in the beam core and far from the beam core, in the so called low-dose enve...
