To characterize surface Cherenkov emission as a function of photon beam energy and dose rate, and to investigate the feasibility of Cherenkov imaging for radiation field size verification using EPID measurements as a reference for patient treatments.

Respiratory motion during proton therapy introduces uncertainties that can lead to dose inhomogeneities, primarily due to the interplay between tumor motion and spot-scanning beam delivery. Understanding and predicting this effect is essential for robust trea...
