Built on top of the Geant4 toolkit, GATE is collaboratively developed for more than 15 years
to design Monte Carlo simulations of nuclear-based imaging systems. It is, in particular …

The physics of proton therapy has advanced considerably since it was proposed in 1946.
Today analytical equations and numerical simulation methods are available to predict and …

In this paper, the authors' review the applicability of the open‐source GATE Monte Carlo
simulation platform based on the GEANT4 toolkit for radiation therapy and dosimetry …

Secondary radiation emission induced by nuclear reactions is correlated to the path of ions
in matter. Therefore, such penetrating radiation can be used for in vivo control of …

The purpose of this paper is to evaluate the ability of a prototype Compton camera (CC) to
measure prompt gamma rays (PG) emitted during delivery of clinical proton pencil beams for …

Ion beam therapy promises enhanced tumour coverage compared to conventional
radiotherapy, but particle range uncertainties significantly blunt the achievable precision …

We present the results of an investigation of the prompt-gamma emission from an interaction
of a proton beam with phantom materials. Measurements were conducted with a novel setup …

Hadrontherapy is an innovative radiation therapy modality for which one of the main key
advantages is the target conformality allowed by the physical properties of ion species …

Proton beams are promising means for treating tumors. Such charged particles stop at a
defined depth, where the ionization density is maximum. As the dose deposit beyond this …

Prompt-gamma emission detection is a promising technique for hadrontherapy monitoring
purposes. In this regard, obtaining prompt-gamma yields that can be used to develop …
