Test measurements of Scintillation Fibres for a Compton Camera — •Jonas Kasper1, Achim Stahl1, Kasia Rusiecka2, and Aleksandra Wronska2 — 1III. Physikalisches Institut B, RWTH Aachen University — 2Institute of Physics, Jagiellonian University, Cracow, Poland
Online monitoring of the Bragg-Peak position is one of the main challenges in hadron therapy. One of the most promising approaches to achieve an online monitoring is the detection of prompt gamma radiation. For this purpose a Compton Camera based on heavy scintillating fibres is developed.
The performance of the Compton Camera is strongly influenced by the properties of the fibres. Therefore different candidates for the fibre materials are tested and the properties of these candidates are evaluated. Further the quality of different fibres of the same material is tested.
The general concept of the Compton Camera and first results of fibre tests are presented.
