Description
Fluka simulations to optimize the distance between the isocenter and the position of the last scanning magnet in order to reduce the skin dose to the patient.
Technical peculiarities:
-Integration between FLUKA and TRAVEL, a multi-particle tracking software developed at CERN.
-Dose simulations in phantoms/patients performed using a simulated beam from a proton Linac for therapy, with an active scanning system and Bragg's Peak spot depth variations obtained varying the energy in the Linac.
-Implementation of the rotation of a gantry in FLUKA.
