Projects
The network’s main scientific and technological objectives were split into three closely interlinked work packages:
Development of novel beam imaging and diagnostics systems;
Studies into treatment optimization including innovative schemes for beam delivery and enhanced biological and physical models in Monte Carlo codes;
R&D into facility design and optimization to ensure optimum patient treatment along with maximum efficiency;
The following projects were undertaken at partner institutions:
- Halo-Dose correlation in a medical accelerator
