Measurements at the piE3 single beam correlated to dosimetry and therapy-planning for the pion applicator at SIN.
Using ionization chambers, aluminium activation, TLD and scintillation counters 3-dimensional total dose-distributions, stardose-distributions and pion stop-distributions have been measured in a single pion beam for various momenta and momentum spreads. It is demonstrated how these data will be used as an input into the therapy-planning program. The techniques developed are suited to check dynamical treatment with 60 pion beams.
