Conclusion:

Our detection module has demonstrated imaging capabilities along with a good precision in retrieving the particle range considering its reduced dimensions leading to the possibility of application of PGI in CIRT. Another experimental session was conducted at CNAO with the aim of obtaining a more accurate PG reference curve and an expanded field of view traslating the detector in more positions along the beam axis. These data analysis is undergoing and the results will be reported at the conference.
