Charged Particle Therapy is a technique for cancer treatment that exploitshadron beams, mostly protons and carbons. A critical issue is the monitoring ofthe dose released by the beam to the tumor and to the surrounding tissues. Wepresent the design of a new tracking device for monitoring on-line the dose inion therapy through the detection of secondary charged particles produced bythe beam interactions in the patient tissues. In fact, the charged particleemission shape can be correlated with the spatial dose release and the Braggpeak position. The detector uses the information provided by 12 layers ofscintillating fibers followed by a plastic scintillator and a small calorimetermade of a pixelated Lutetium Fine Silicate crystal. Simulations have beenperformed to evaluate the achievable spatial resolution and a possibleapplication of the device for the monitoring of the dose profile in a realtreatment is presented.
