Abstract
This master thesis is about the detection of 12N in graphite through gamma spectroscopy focused on emitted gammas of 4.4 MeV. The graphite of 5.4 mm thick was irradiated with a pencil proton beam of 90 MeV. The goal of this work is to provide a start to the devel- opment of in-vivo dose verification for proton therapy at PARTREC, Groningen. The next step will be the measurement of the cross section of the reaction 12C(p,n)12N at high proton energies. This thesis sug- gests improvements for the detector setup based upon the difficulties encountered during the project. This thesis also provides a starting guide to performing gamma spectroscopy, especially with a cyclotron high-energy ion beam, as performed here at PARTREC.
