Pencil Beam Scanning Nozzle for Proton Therapy
Application ID: 132051
This model describes a pencil beam scanning (PBS) magnet system for use in medical proton therapy. Simulations of the magnetic flux density and particle tracing are performed.
Such models are useful for the design of PBS systems, particular with the advent of MR-integrated proton therapy.
A potential extension of this model would be to include the main MRI magnet system in order to investigate perturbations to field quality and beam trajectory.

This model example illustrates applications of this type that would nominally be built using the following products:
however, additional products may be required to completely define and model it. Furthermore, this example may also be defined and modeled using components from the following product combinations:
The combination of COMSOL® products required to model your application depends on several factors and may include boundary conditions, material properties, physics interfaces, and part libraries. Particular functionality may be common to several products. To determine the right combination of products for your modeling needs, review the Grille des Spécifications and make use of a free evaluation license. The COMSOL Sales and Support teams are available for answering any questions you may have regarding this.
