Range quality assurance measurements for clinical and FLASH proton beam therapy using the quality assurance range calorimeter
The QuARC has been shown to be a promising candidate for fast, accurate range QA at conventional clinical dose rates and thanks to its high precision and dynamic range, has been shown to also be viable at FLASH dose rates. Future work will investigate improving the accuracy and stability of the calibration process by optimising the scintillator sheet light output and mechanical setup.
