Experiments and Monte Carlo simulations on multiple Coulomb scattering of protons
[Background and purpose] Monte Carlo simulations as well as analytical computations of proton transport in material media require accurate values of multiple Coulomb scattering (MCS) angles. High-quality experimental data on MCS angles in the energy range for proton therapy are, however, sparse. In...

| Sumario: | [Background and purpose] Monte Carlo simulations as well as analytical computations of proton transport in material media require accurate values of multiple Coulomb scattering (MCS) angles. High-quality experimental data on MCS angles in the energy range for proton therapy are, however, sparse. In this work, MCS modeling in proton transport was evaluated employing an experimental method to measure these angles on a medical proton beamline in clinically relevant materials. Results are compared to Monte Carlo simulations and analytical models. |
