Measurement of Proton Beam Distribution by Diamond Detector

Journal of Isotopes, 2023
Proton beam therapy (PBT) can achieve the effect of precision radiotherapy due to its unique Bragg peak. In the process of proton therapy, the peak can be accurately located to the tumor area, which can give the tumor a larger dose of irradiation, reduce
