Proton and Carbon Ion Beam Spot Size Measurement Using 5 Different Detector Types
The study concludes that, although a single Gaussian fit is generally sufficient for QA, more sophisticated models might be beneficial for special applications. These findings aim to guide detector selection for ion beam facilities, enhancing QA procedures.
