應用高能物理探測器的技術，研發出快速、高靈敏度且穩定的質子束偵測器、可應用於質子癌症治療中心的筆型質子束品保及質子加速器校驗。
The experimental high energy group (Drs. Lin C.H., Chu M. and Teng P.K.) of Institute of Physics, Academia Sinica, led by Academician Lee S.C., has been collaborating with National Central University, Chang Gung University and National Chiayi University to develop a high speed and fine spatial resolution ionization detector, “Cross”, to measure the characteristics of proton scanning pencil beam. The detector can determine the position, shape, scanning speed and energy of the proton beam in a very short time.
Proton therapy using pencil beam scanning (PBS) system allows precision dose delivery to target and minimizes the overall exposure. The Cross detector is highly competitive with its great performance for the PBS daily QA.
The team has been granted the 2015 National Innovation Award sponsored by the Institute for Biotechnology and Medicine Industry for their achievement in developing the detector for PBS beam quality assurance.
