Apparatus for visualizing the energy release in a water phantom irradiated with the proton beam of the radiotherapeutic accelerator

Аннотация

An apparatus for visualizing the energy release region in a water phantom is developed and tested on the proton beam of the radiotherapeutic accelerator. The shape and sizes of the emission region during pulsed irradiation of the phantom with the proton beam is experimentally determined in the form of Bragg curves. The results are compared with model calculations.
