Descripción
Proton therapy uses accelerated proton beams with energies between 70 and 230 MeV. Compact Proton Therapy Centers (CPTC) are facilities with a single treatment room. From a radioprotection point of view the leading concern in CPTC are high-energy neutrons that are produced from proton interactions with mechanical elements and patients. The goal of this work is to carry out neutron dosimetry and shielding studies by estimating ambient dose equivalent H*(10) around a CPTC facilities, aiming to protect the radiation workers and the public. Experimental measurements were compared with values obtained with Monte Carlo calculations.
