22nd March 2018: MedAustron
- Experimental measurements with range calorimeter from 62 to 252 MeV.
- Measurements during single shift on night of 22-23 March.
- Light output from scintillator recorded using ISDI sensor and Nikon DSLR.
- Precision range measurements from 62 to 100 MeV.
- Simon Jolly, Anastasia Basharina-Freshville, Laurent Kelleter and Ruben Saakyan present.
8th-9th March 2018: Birmingham
- First experimental measurements of the UCL plastic scintillator range calorimeter.
- Measurements at 28 and 36 MeV across 2 days.
- Measurements made at 36 MeV include 1–5 mm perspex absorber.
- Light output from scintillator recorded using ISDI sensor and Nikon DSLR.
- Simon Jolly, Anastasia Basharina-Freshville, Laurent Kelleter and Ruben Saakyan present.
21st February 2018: Birmingham
- First tests of fast treatment plan verification setup at Birmingham cyclotron.
- Measurements at 28 MeV with data taken by Birmingham PRaVDA tracker module and UCL single module calorimeter.
- Calorimeter data recorded from PMT waveforms by LeCroy scope.
- Dan Walker, Simon Jolly, Anastasia Basharina-Freshville and Laurent Kelleter present.
Measurements of 2 and 3 mm scintillator sheets
- Nuvia a.s. provided 2 mm and 3 mm PS scintillator sheets for the range calorimeter.
- These sheets were all measured on arrival.
- The sheets were then spray-painted black and remeasured.
