To Do
MC Simulations
Dose Reconstruction
- If looking to use FRED - need to get installed on Plus1 or over Hypatia cluster for GPU processing capabilities (need training in Hypatia cluster first)
QuARC & QuADProBe Geant4 Simulations
- Improve statistics for photon output using PD sized scoring arrays (20 mil histories still not enough) or other options at filtering the photon output.
- Start looking at QuADProBe fibre simulation.
QuADProBe - Fibres
1st prototype measurements (with Zybo + NI)
- Continue to work with Raffy on optimising analysis code.
- Analyse the data from Trento beam test nights 2 and 3.
- Correlate position measurements with QuARC.
- Get film data from Enrico and analyse to compare to fibres.
- Maybe duplicate setup at UCL, if need to establish calibration using LED or laser?
- Get beam data from Trento from Enrico.
Preparations for 2nd Prototype with Digital Readout
- Hamamatsu making S17285-128G digital readout photodiode arrays with samples expected to be ready in September 2025 - awaiting quotation from Kirsty.
- Comparison and between the two PD array options: S11865-128 (analogue readout) and S17285-128G (digital readout). Work out which has the better dynamic range and requires the most FPGA signals to control (still in progress).
- Assist with design of new front end board for S17285-128G digital readout photodiode arrays and obtain information from Hamamatsu about specific signal requirements.
QuARC
Dual-sided readout analysis
- Analyse the data from Trento beam test nights 1 and 2.
- Correlate position measurements with fibres.
- Continue Sonia's analysis from PPTC and UCLH.
Conference Abstracts
- PTCOG abstract submission open
Conference Talks
Papers
- Start preparations for paper on PPTC/UCLH/TIFPA beam tests - figure out scope and main points to cover. Possible journals: phiRO/PMB/MedPhys/Physica Medica
Completed
MC Simulations
Dose Reconstruction
- TOPAS Simulations fully working on cluster and used to reconstruct 3D dose distributions from QuADProBe UCLH Beam Test 2024 for frontiers paper.
- FRED-MC working on old MacBook Air (2020) intel processor and matches TOPAS simulations. Doesn't run on new MacBook Pro as not compatible with apple silicon.
QuARC & QuADProBe Geant4 Simulations
- Saads QuARC G4 simulation working and added scoring onto left and right sides
- Get QuARC G4 simulation working with most recent G4 and have PD sized scoring area.
Fibres
- Had two meetings with Blake Leverington and Julian Horne from Heidelberg on replicating/adapting the design of the frontend readout system of their fibre array monitor.
- Have so far received assembly drawings, technical description booklet, schematics and slides.
- Investigate from Heidelberg SciFi readout setup and HSMC pin configurations what each of the signals do and how they get inputted in to the FPGA (on one end) and ADCs (on the other).
- Understand Raffy's fibre readout for Trento beam test (will discus when she visits in September) - operated fibre readout with zybo and NI on DAQ express on behalf of raffy.
QuARC
- Learn from Sonia how to operate the QuARC and diagnose any hardware and software issues ahead of Trento beam test in September.
Conference Abstracts
Conference Talks
- Talk given at PPRIG 03/05
Papers
- Submitted QuADProBe PSQA paper for Frontiers in Oncology special edition: Technology Developments in Proton Therapy and revised version following review on 07/08.
