FLUKA can be used to calculate Monte Carlo calculated beam quality correction factorskQ for monoenergetic proton beams using the Monte Carlo code FLUKA and shows a general good agreement for low energies, while differences for higher energies were pronounced.

There is a need for updating the current recommendations, which assume a constant P of unity in carbon-ion beams, to recommendations that consider chamber-induced differences, as shown in the results.

Analysis of currently available data on beam quality correction factors, kQ, for ionization chambers in clinical proton beams and derive their current best estimates for the updated recommendations of the IAEA TRS-398 Code of Practice showed that except for the beam quality dependence of the water-to-air mass stopping power ratio and of the displacement correction factor, there is no remaining beam quality Dependency pQ.

The k Q values determined in the present work have been compared with the values tabulated in TRS-398 and its forthcoming update and also with those obtained in previous water calorimetric measurements and Monte Carlo calculations and all results were found to agree within the combined uncertainties of the different data.

The establishment of a primary standard calorimeter for the determination of absorbed dose in proton beams combined with the introduction of the associated calibration service following the IPEM recommendations will reduce the uncertainty and improve consistency in the dose delivered to patients.

The results of this work seem to indicate that the simulation of proton nuclear interactions should be included in the MC calculation of factors in proton beams, perturbation factors in Proton beams should not be neglected, and the detailed MC simulation of ionization chambers allows for an accurate and precise calculation of Factors in clinical protonbeam beams.

It is concluded that perturbation correction factors in proton beams—currently assumed to be equal to unity—are in fact significantly different from unity for some of the ionization chambers studied.

The perturbation factors p Q were shown to deviate from unity for the investigated chambers, contradicting the assumptions made in dosimetry protocols and the approximation of ionization chamber perturbations in proton beams by the respective water-to-air mass stopping power ratio shall be revised.

The results support the suggestion that the IAEA TRS-398 reference conditions for monoenergetic proton beams should be revised so that the effective point of measurement of cylindrical ionization chambers is taken into account when positioning the reference point of the chamber at the reference depth.

Ionization chamber perturbation factors are shown to be energy dependent and nuclear interactions must be taken into account for accurate calculation of the ionization chamber's response and need to be considered in dosimetry procedures.
