Abstract:	We describe a Proton Range Radiography system with an imaging area of 10 x 10 cm(2), deploying a pair of Gas Electron Multiplier position-sensitive detectors and a scintillator stack to measure the residual proton range after crossing a target. The detector has been tested in the laboratory and in beam exposures at the Paul Scherrer Institute; images recorded with several phantoms of variable thickness and composition confirm the sub-millimetre accuracy and few percent energy resolution of the instrument. A new device with identical design and larger acceptance, 30 x 30 cm(2), is in construction. (C) 2010 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
