Abstract New technique is trending in spatially fractionated radiotherapy with protons to utilize the spot scanning together with a physical collimator to obtain minibeams. The primary goal of this study is to quantify ambient neutron dose equivalent (${H}^{\ast }(10)$) due to the secondary neutrons when physical collimator is used to achieve desired minibeams. The ${H}^{\ast }(10)$ per treatment proton dose (D) was assessed using Monte Carlo code TOPAS and measured using WENDI-II detector at different angles (135, 180, 225 and 270 degrees) and distances (11 cm, 58 and 105 cm) from the phantom for two cases: with and without physical collimation. Without collimation $\frac{H^{\ast }(10)}{D}$ varied from 0.0013 to 0.242 mSv/Gy. With collimation $\frac{H^{\ast }(10)}{D}$ varied from 0.017 to 3.23 mSv/Gy. Results show that the secondary neutron dose will increase tenfold when the physical collimator is used. Regardless, it will be low and comparable to the neutron dose produced by conventional passive-scattered proton beams.
