Abstract
Methods of beam control and dosimetry for radiological work with a 187 MeV proton beam have been described. The results of measurement of absorption and distribution of dose have been reviewed with reference to the possible application of accelerated light atomic nuclei to radiotherapy of tumors and to intracranial radiosurgery.Keywords
