A prompt gamma (PG) slit camera prototype recently demonstrated a 1-2 mm accuracy to detect proton range shifts at clinical beam currents by comparing an expected PG detection profile to a measured one. An analytical model has been recently developed to compute the expected profile at practical speed (< 1 s). We present here its benchmark against measurements in heterogeneous phantoms.
