Dr. Jonathan Berthold is honored with the Christoph-Schmelzer-Award

Dr. Jonathan Berthold receives the Christoph-Schmelzer-Award 2023 for his thesis entitled "Evaluation of a detector system for prompt gamma radiation for treatment monitoring in clinical proton therapy". In his thesis, he deals with the use of gamma radiation, which is generated by the interaction of proton beams with the irradiated tissue, to verify the spatial distribution of the dose.

With the Christoph-Schmelzer-Award, the “Verein zur Förderung der Tumortherapie mit schweren Ionen e.V.” recognizes outstanding master's or doctoral theses in the field of tumor therapy with ion beams.
