Measurements performed with the High Energy Range Multisphere Extended IRSN System (HERMEIS) acquired by the French Aerospace Lab are presented and discussed. The detectors were calibrated at the Low Noise Underground Laboratory of Rustrel. Atmospheric neutron spectra were obtained at three altitudes (+500 m, +1000 m and +2885 m) and the first...

Monte Carlo simulations were used to assess secondary neutron doses received by patients treated with proton therapy for ocular melanoma and craniopharyngioma. MCNPX calculations of out-of-field doses were done for ∼20 different organs considering realistic treatment plans and using computational phantoms representative of an adult male...
