* Nuvia invited us out to Prague on w/b 7/4 or 21/4
* Prague PTC planned measurements
* Spoke to Czech PTC proton physicist about visiting and possible beam time
** Shoot through calibrations
* Fly on Thursday 24/4 - Friday 25/4 at Nuvia, Saturday 26/4 at PTC
** Pristine Bragg peaks  
** Bring 4 modules with two boards each module but bring whatever we can
** SOBP treatment plan
* Aim for two consecutive evenings in UCLH at some point in May
** WET measurement at same time as shoot through calibrations
** Pristine Bragg peaks
** Moving couch to ensure perfectly straight beams at different lateral positions
** SOBPs
** 30,000 measurements ~ 5 secs for pristine Bragg peaks
** Moving the QuARC to check effect of measuring beam off axis
* Email from Andy Rose at Imperial for advice on integrated FPGA back-end DAQ such as on-chip KRIA (less CPU than pi5 but more FPGA power than USB104)
** Also was able to re-factor Kelleter equation to optimise for computing to be ~700x faster in C++

Minutes for UCL Proton Beam Therapy Group Meetings, 1st April

Present

Joe Bateman, Sonia Escribano, Matt Warren, Harry Barnett, Simon Jolly

Matt Warren

  • String of 8 DDC boards seems to work but only if integration is greater than 600 otherwise overlaps - so need to find ways to make faster

Simon Jolly

  • Prague PTC planned measurements
    • Shoot through calibrations
    • Pristine Bragg peaks
    • SOBP treatment plan
    • WET measurement at same time as shoot through calibrations
    • Moving couch to ensure perfectly straight beams at different lateral positions
    • 30,000 measurements ~ 5 secs for pristine Bragg peaks


Sonia Escribano

  • To-do list prepared for Prague
  • Fake-generated data to check “live acquisition” calibration and firing
  • For long runs not possible to kill acquisition from GUI (I.e. stop button stops calibration and fitting) - need to access to ftdi from GUI which is blocked by web servers
  • On patch panel of Peli case in case pi’s don’t work and need to use DAQ laptop
