Particle beams show a unique physical characteristic known as the Bragg-peak, which enables conformal dose delivery to tumor with a lower entrance dose and zero exit dose. This property makes particle therapy highly effective, but accurate prediction of the Bragg-peak is one of the most important techniques to fully utilize the benefits of the expensive particle therapy. Various research has...
