ABSTRACT Purpose: We developed an integrated framework that employs a full Monte Carlo (MC) model for treatment-plan simulations of a passive double-scattering proton system. Materials and Methods: We have previously validated a virtual machine source model for full MC proton-dose calculations by comparing the percentage of depth-dose curves, spread-out Bragg peaks, and lateral profiles against measured commissioning data. This study further expanded our previous work by developing an integrate framework that facilitates its clinical use. Specifically, we have (1) constructed patient-specific applicator and compensator numerically from the plan data and incorporated them into the beamline, (2) created the patient anatomy from the computed tomography image and established the transformation between patient and machine coordinate systems, and (3) developed a graphical user interface to ease the whole process from importing the treatment plan in the Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine format to parallelization of the MC calculations. End-to-end tests were performed to validate the functionality, and 3 clinical cases were used to demonstrate clinical utility of the framework. Results: The end-to-end tests demonstrated that the framework functioned correctly for all tested functionality. Comparisons between the treatment planning system calculations and MC results in 3 clinical cases revealed large dose difference up to 17%, especially in the beam penumbra and near the end of beam range. The discrepancy likely originates from a variety of sources, such as the dose algorithms, modeling of the beamline, and the dose metric. The agreement for other regions was acceptable. Conclusion: An integrated framework was developed for full MC simulations of double-scattering proton therapy. It can be a valuable tool for dose verification and plan evaluation.

Abstract In the effective action approach the imaginary part of the triple pomeron amplitude is calculated. The found dependence on the longitudinal momentum transfer $$e_{-}$$e- is found to separate as a simple factor $$1/|e_{-}|$$1/|e-|. This result is used to calculate the high-mass diffraction on a hadron and double scattering cross-section off a composite target.

An exact, computationally convenient, expression for light scattering by a dense lattice gas is presented. It is shown how the exact theory can be used as a benchmark to test the assumption always made so far, that "pair" or "double" scattering is the dominant mechanism for depolarization by simple liquids. The tenability of the dipole – induced dipole model may be determined by the outcome of the indicated test.
