Abstract

A Geant4 simulation modelling the passive Biological beamline at the Heavy Ion Medical Accelerator Chiba (HIMAC) is described and validated against experimental measurements for a mono-energetic and spread out Bragg peak (SOBP) 12C beam. Comparisons to experimental data showed good agreement for both lateral and depth dose profiles. It was found that simplifying the simulation model by generating a cone beam instead of using the wobbler magnets provided a good approximation for both lateral and depth dose measurements.
