Variable length genetic algorithm with continuous parameters optimization of beam layout in proton therapy
François Smekens, Nicolas Freud, Bruno Sixou +2
Proton therapy is a modality in fast development. Characterized by a maximum dose deposition at the end of the proton trajectory followed by a sharp fall-off, proton beams can deli…

Towards the optimization of ballistics in proton therapy using genetic algorithms: implementation issues
François Smekens, Nicolas Freud, Bruno Sixou +2
The dose delivered to the planning target volume by proton beams is highly conformal, sparing organs at risk and normal tissues. New treatment planning systems adapted to spot scan…

Monitoring the Bragg peak location of 73 MeV/u carbon ions by means of prompt -ray measurements
E. Testa, M. Bajard, M. Chevallier +7
By means of a time-of-flight technique, we measured the longitudinal profile of prompt -rays emitted by 73 MeV/u C ions irradiating a PMMA target. This technique allowed…
