Supersonic gas curtain based ionization beam profile monitor for FLASH proton beam therapy
This study presents a viable solution for non-invasive proton beam profile monitoring for FLASH-PBT. The device shows a linear response to beam current within the measurement range. The mathematical model quantifies the device's sensitivity and provides a means to calibrate it for dose estimation.
