| 2 | | * Discussion of MSci project admin |
| 3 | | * Literature review |
| 4 | | * Due 3rd October |
| 5 | | * Worth 15% |
| 6 | | * Reports are completed separately, but can collaborate |
| 7 | | * Safety hazard form |
| 8 | | * Due 10th October |
| 9 | | |
| 10 | | * Updates on SmartPhantom progress from Ken |
| 11 | | * Made a start on winding lab - started with fishing line |
| 12 | | * Hopes that there will be a prototype made over summer |
| 13 | | * MM working on simulation of response of fibres |
| 14 | | * TM working on simulation of what beam does to tissue |
| 15 | | |
| 16 | | |
| 17 | | |
| 18 | | * Reading material to start with for literature review |
| 19 | | * HT's PhD thesis |
| 20 | | * Publication on LhARA |
| 21 | | * TOPAS |
| 22 | | * What would we use TOPAS for? |
| 23 | | * [https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/30609382/] |
| 24 | | * Hadron therapy |
| 25 | | * Use treatment planning monte carlo simulations - target volume |
| 26 | | * How do people plan to do these measurements today |
| 27 | | * Protons excite nuclei -> emit photons MeV with ring of crystal photon |
| 28 | | * Think about the drawbacks |
| 29 | | * E.g. count enough photons - take time |
| 30 | | * By definition photons don't come from bragg peak bc no longer have energy |
| 31 | | * Alternatives: Proton tomography |
| 32 | | * Proposal for LhARA - scientific summary - bibliography |
| 33 | | * Valuable to understand how scintillating fibre |
| 34 | | * Why did we choose fibre? -> Density similar to water |
| 35 | | * Scintillating fibres |
| 36 | | * Why fibre vs other methods for detection (similar density to water so less perturbation) |
| 37 | | |
| 38 | | |
| 39 | | * Role of VL and AML |
| 40 | | * Assume we have a plane by October |
| 41 | | * Get involved in irradiation - Birmingham (proton cyclotron) |
| 42 | | * Analysis of data |
