Abstract
The characteristic dose profile of accelerated ions has opened up new horizons in the context of cancer treatment. However, particle range uncertainties strongly constrain the potentialities of ion beam therapy. In spite of worldwide efforts, a detector system for range and dose delivery assessment in real-time is not yet available for clinical routine.
