TL;DR: This study lays the foundation for multi-particle detection and imaging systems in the context of range verification in PT by proposing a novel range-monitoring technique introducing the yet unexplored concept of simultaneous detection and imaging of fast neutrons and prompt-gamma rays produced in beam-tissue interactions.
