DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Aleksandra Wrońska (Jagiellonian University in Krak
 ów)\nOver the last five years\, the number of proton therapy centres in t
 he World has doubled. In Kraków\, Poland a new proton therapy facility Cy
 clotron Centre Bronowice (CCB) has been launched in 2013. The accuracy of 
 proton therapy could be improved if on-line monitoring of deposited dose b
 ecame a standard in clinical practice. Different approaches for beam range
  verification (one-dimensional) or monitoring of deposited dose distributi
 on (two- or three-dimensional) are being developed\, exploiting different 
 types of secondary radiation. One of them is prompt-gamma imaging\, for wh
 ich the detectors of the Compton-camera type featuring a three-dimensional
  reconstruction allow to obtain the richest information.\n\nPhysicists fro
 m the Jagiellonian University and the RWTH Aachen University have establis
 hed a collaboration to develop a method for on-line monitoring of dose dis
 tribution deposited in proton therapy exploiting prompt-gamma radiation. I
 n the first project called $\\gamma$CCB the relevant differential yields f
 or gamma emission were measured at HIT Heidelberg and CCB Kraków. The new
  project aims at the development of a  setup for prompt-gamma imaging\, wh
 ich will take advantage of the latest advances in scintillation detectors 
 - fibres made from modern\, heavy scintillators read out by SiPMs\, hence 
 the project name SiFi-CC (SiPMs and scintillating Fibre-based Compton Came
 ra). Key features of detector design and the simulated performance will be
  discussed.\n\nhttps://indico.koza.if.uj.edu.pl/event/1/contributions/10/
