新型平板电离室的研制与初步测试

Abstract

Abstract: A plane-parallel ionization chamber for position and dose detection of proton beam is developed. The ionization chamber structure is optimized by simulating the electric field distribution, equivalent water thickness, and lateral scattering of proton beams of different energies after passing through the ionization chamber using the FEM-based Ansys simulation software and Geant4 Monte Carlo toolkit. A YXLON 450 kV X-ray tube, 6 MeV pulse accelerator and Peking University tandem accelerator were used to conduct preliminary tests on the ionization chamber. The ionization chamber operated stably, and the information of 2-D distribution of rays and the collection of dose information were accurate and the performance was good.

Key words: beam 2-D distribution monitoring, plane-parallel ionization chamber, Genat4, finite element method, Monte Carlo simulation
