An integral test of FLUKA nuclear models with 160 MeV proton beams in multi-layer Faraday cups

Monte Carlo (MC) codes are useful tools to simulate the complex processes of proton beam interactions with matter. In proton therapy, nuclear reactions influence the dose distribution. Therefore, the validation of nuclear models adopted in MC codes is a critical requisite for their use in this field...
