Feasibility of proton FLASH irradiation using a synchrocyclotron for preclinical studies

Purpose It has been recently shown that radiotherapy at ultrahigh dose rates (>40 Gy/s, FLASH) has a potential advantage in sparing healthy organs compared to that at conventional dose rates. The purpose of this work is to show the feasibility of proton FLASH irradiation using a gantry‐mounted sy...
