[1222] | 74 | : it is an advanced tool for people interested in Monte Carlo studies related |

| 75 | to proton/ion therapy. Hadrontherapy permits the simulation of a typical hadron therapy beam line |
---|
| 76 | (with all its elements) and the calculation of fundamentals quantities of |
---|
| 77 | interests: 3D dose distributions, fluences, stopping powers, production cross sections |
---|
| 78 | for the produced secondary particle, etc.; In the near future |
---|
| 79 | new tools will be added: Hadrontherapy will permit the calculation of LET and RBE for both |
---|
| 80 | proton and ion beams and it will include the possibility to simulate a typical active scanning proton |
