LET measurements in proton and helium‐ion beams of therapeutic energies using a silicon pixel detector towards a tool for quality assurance
This study demonstrates the performance of silicon pixel detectors with respect to LET measurements and RBE estimation in clinical proton and helium-ion beams. The streamlined and accessible outline of the proposed methodology supports easy implementation into clinical routines, promising a viable and sound quality assurance tool for particle therapy.
