Secondary neutrons in 12 C therapy<br />
MCHIT: 330A MeV 12 C in water<br />
100 events, only neutrons are shown<br />
Comparison with GSI data<br />
(D. Schardt et al.)<br />
The <strong>to</strong>tal dose <strong>from</strong> neutrons is predicted at 1% of the treatment dose for<br />
typical irradiation conditions. This was confirmed by GSI measurements,<br />
