From the simulation and experimental results, it was found that a significant amount of SEB yield exists between the beam-injection surface and the range position along the beam axis and the beam trajectory is clearly imaged by the SEB yield. It is concluded that the SEB imaging is a promising technique for monitoring of therapeutic proton-beam trajectories.}, pages = {199--207}, title = {Secondary-electron-bremsstrahlung imaging for proton therapy}, volume = {833}, year = {2016} }
