Cover Story: Particle therapy is well-established as a clinical tumor treatment method. Using ions offers superior depth dose distributions, but makes the delivery system more complex and requires highly accurate particle beam control. The monitoring system has to provide beam position and dose rate with small latency, while leaving the beam virtually undisturbed. Future developments such as MRI-guided ion beam therapy pose new challenges, such as tolerance towards magnetic fields and acoustic noise. Solid-state detectors based on HV-CMOS technology promise to fulfill these requirements and provide additional benefits for both medical treatment and beam diagnostics. A prototype of an HV-CMOS beam monitor has been developed and evaluated in a collaboration between KIT and HIT. View this paper
