The Mayo Clinic Florida Integrated Oncology Building will be the home of the first spot-scanning only carbon/proton hybrid therapy system by Hitachi, Ltd. It will provide proton beams up to kinetic energies of 230 MeV and carbon beams up to 430 MeV n−1 for clinical deployment. To provide adequate radiation protection, the Geant4 (v10.6) Monte Carlo toolkit was utilized to quantify the ambient dose equivalent at a 10 mm depth (H (10)) for photons and neutrons. To perform accurate calculations of the ambient dose equivalent, three-dimensional computer-aided design files of the entire planned facility were imported into Geant4, as well as certain particle system components such as the bending magnets, fast Faraday cup, and gantry. Particle fluence was scored using 60 cm diameter spheres, which were strategically placed throughout areas of interests. Analytical calculations were performed as first-pass design checks. Major shielding slabs were optimized using Geant4 simulations iterative
