Hadron Therapy is an advanced radiotherapy technique for cancer treatment. It offers a better irradiation ballistic than conventional techniques and therefore requires appropriate quality assurance procedures. In this work, we upgraded the GEANT4-based GATE Monte Carlo platform in order to recalculate the TPS dose distributions in view of further benchmarking. In a first step, we selected an appropriate simulation environment (physics models and parameters) in order to produce accurate and efficient simulations. GATE simulations were validated using measurements and other Monte Carlo codes for depth-dose and transverse profiles. While a good agreement was found for depth-dose profiles, larger discrepancies were pointed out for transverse profiles...
