Abstract
The proton beam model was found to be within clinical tolerances of 0.5 mm in range and 10% in spot size in the air-gap from the nozzle exit to the isocenter. So far, 26 targets of various shapes were simulated in water for protons. Averaged dose differences were always better than+/-3% and mostly within 1% or 2%. These plans included field sizes from 3 to 20 cm, target volumes from 0.03 to 2 liters and more, with and without range shifter and were centered between 3 and 31 cm depth. Overall, more than 2000 pin-point measurements were analyzed
