1. 1. Optimization and Characterization of Luminescent Materials for the ESS Proton Beam Imaging System

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Centrum för analys och syntes

   Author : Emelie Wiklund; Anton Järild; [2021]
   Keywords : Chemical Engineering; Luminescent materials; Cr-doped Alumina; Proton Beam Imaging System; ESS; Chemistry; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : Spallation sources such as European Spallation Source (ESS) produces neutrons by bombarding high-energy protons onto the target wheel. To determine the location of the proton beam a Proton Beam Imaging (PBI) system will be installed. READ MORE

3. 2. Single Photon Imaging System for the ESS Linac

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för elektro- och informationsteknik

   Author : Maria Hoflund; [2019]
   Keywords : Imaging; European Spallation Source; Single Photon Detection; Beam Diagnostics; Non-invasive Profile Monitor; Fluorescence Profile Monitor; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : To control an accelerating proton beam that travels close to the speed of light, a large number of beam diagnostic instruments are needed. One of the instruments that will be used at the accelerator of the European Spallation Source is a Non-invasive Profile Monitor (NPM). READ MORE

4. 3. In-beam proton range monitoring during proton therapy : a Monte Carlo study on the feasibility of secondary gamma imaging

   University essay from KTH/Skolan för teknikvetenskap (SCI)

   Author : Gustaf Lönn; [2016]
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Proton radiation therapy allows for delivering a high dose to a well-confinedregion of interest due to the characteristic proton dose deposition. Due to protonrange straggling, anatomic variations in patients and small patient setup errors,treatment plans needs to account for proton range uncertainties of up to 3.5% invivo. READ MORE
