The compiled record

The paper's own sentences, arranged. Each label is drawn from a closed vocabulary; the number beside it is the probability the classifier gave that label. Numbers in the tables are the authors', checked by code. No sentence in this record was written by a model.

The abstract, sentence by sentence

arXiv listing abstract v1. Results and the main claim are underlined; .

A beam tagging hodoscope prototype made of squared 1 mm$^2$ fibers arranged in two perpendicular planes and coupled to multi-anode photomultipliers has been studied using 65 MeV proton as well as 95 MeV/u $^{12}$C beams at various intensities. This hodoscope successfully provided 2D images of proton beams with a detection efficiency larger than 98 % with logical OR condition between the two fiber planes. The detection efficiency with a coincidence between the two planes is close to 75 % for beam intensities up to $\sim1$ MHz. Moreover, the timing resolution is around 1.8 ns FWHM. Overall, the performances show that such a technology is viable for beam monitoring during hadrontherapy.
