Beam spreading is the foundation of proton therapy with large area and depth tumour.The characteristics of proton lateral beam distribution for dualring double scattering system are investigated using Monte Carlo multiparticle transport code Fluka and the results are compared with analytical computation
when the same radius of beam spreading is considered. It is found that the first scatterer is thinner than the results obtained from analytical computation and they are coincided better with thinfoil than thickfoil. For dualring double scattering system
as the thickness of foils increase
the radius of beam spreading increase
but the efficiency of beam use increase firstly and then decrease
the maximum value is about 27%.
