Toward the Clinical Application of the Prompt Gamma-Ray Timing Method for Range Verification in Proton Therapy

The prompt gamma-ray timing (PGT) method offers a relatively simple approach for range verification in proton therapy. Starting from the findings of previous experiments, several steps toward a clinical application of PGT have been performed in this work. First of all, several scintillation material...
