Noninvasive ion fraction quantification of dual-species beams in synchrotrons
Elisabeth Renner, Matthias Kausel, Hermann Fuchs +2
The ion composition of dual-species beams in synchrotrons is typically inferred from invasive measurements performed after beam extraction. This paper introduces a complementary no…
A double multi-turn injection scheme for generating mixed helium and carbon ion beams at medical synchrotron facilities
Matthias Kausel, Claus Schmitzer, Andreas Gsponer +7
The low relative charge-to-mass ratio offset of 0.065% between fully ionized helium-4 and carbon-12 ions enables simultaneous acceleration in hadron therapy synchrotrons. At the sa…
GATE 10 Monte Carlo particle transport simulation -- Part I: development and new features
David Sarrut, Nicolas Arbor, Thomas Baudier +30
We present GATE version 10, a major evolution of the open-source Monte Carlo simulation application for medical physics, built on Geant4. This release marks a transformative evolut…
GATE 10 Monte Carlo particle transport simulation -- Part II: architecture and innovations
Nils Krah, Nicolas Arbor, Thomas Baudier +29
Over the past years, we have developed GATE version 10, a major re-implementation of the long-standing Geant4-based Monte Carlo application for particle and radiation transport sim…
