Range modulators for protons and heavy ions

Abstract A series of range modulator wheels has been developed to modify the Bragg peak of the 160 MeV proton beam at the Harvard Cyclotron Laboratory. Flat depth-dose distributions up to 15 cm in extent have been produced. Ease of construction and inexpensive assembly recommend the design for use in other heavy particle beams.
