Deliverable numberDeliverable descriptionDeliverable type
D1Comparison report of primary absorbed dose standards for clinical scanning UHDR proton beams. This includes: (i) the characterisation and determination of correction factors of existing primary standards for UHDR conditions, (ii) a sensitivity analysis of characteristics and correction factors on beam parameters, and (iii) target uncertainties compared to those in international CoPs for conventional clinical radiotherapyComparison report
D2Report on the use of open-source software for the simulation of secondary standard ionisation chamber recombination correction factors in clinical UHDR proton and UHDPP electron beams using (i) the temporal structure of these beams as input, (ii) their validation with measurements and (iii) their application to sensitivity analysis and uncertainty evaluationReport
D3Document on a data set of measured and simulated ks and kQ correction factors for scanning UHDR proton beamsDocument
D4Recommendations on how to extend the reference dosimetry methodology of existing CoPs to scanning UHDR proton beams with target uncertainties similar to existing CoPs. This includes (i) measurement of beam characteristics, (ii) determination of dose-rate parameters, (iii) calibration of secondary standards against portable primary standards, (iv) measurement of ks and kQ correction factors for secondary standards, (v) assessment of the suitability of secondary standards, and (vi) the derivation of traceability routesRecommendations
D5Document on a data set of measured and simulated ks and kQ correction factors for UHDPP electron beamsDocument
D6Recommendations on how to extend existing CoPs for reference dosimetry to UHDPP electron beams intended for clinical use with target uncertainties similar to existing CoPs. This includes (i) the measurement of beam characteristics, (ii) an assessment of the suitability of secondary standards, and (iii) the derivation of traceability routesRecommendations
