Abstract
A Compton camera is being developed for the purpose of ion-range monitoring during hadrontherapy via the detection of prompt-gamma rays. The system consists of a scintillating fiber beam tagging hodoscope, a stack of double sided silicon strip detectors (90Ã90Ã2Â mm3, 2Ã64 strips) as scatter detectors, as well as bismuth germanate (BGO) scintillation detectors (38Ã35Ã30Â mm3, 100 blocks) as absorbers. The individual components will be described, together with the status of their characterization.
