Geometry optimisation of graphite energy degrader for proton therapy

Introduction: Cyclotron-based proton therapy facilities use an energy degrader of variable thickness to deliver beams of the different energies required by a patient treatment plan; scattering and straggling in the degrader give rise to an inherent emittance increase and subsequent particle loss in...
