Description
A Compton telescope for dose monitoring in hadron therapy is under development at IFIC-Valencia. The system consists of three layers of LaBr3 crystals coupled to silicon photomultiplier arrays. Two- and three-layer versions of the device have been tested in the laboratory. Images of Na-22 sources have been reconstructed. In addition, the two-layer version has been tested in a proton beam. Performance improvement and full characterization of the device are ongoing. (authors)
