In carbon-ion radiotherapy (CIRT), secondary neutrons are produced by nuclear interactions in the beamline devices or patient. Herein, the characteristics of secondary neutrons in CIRT with energy scanning (ES) were evaluated. Neutron ambient dose equivalents (H*(1) were measured using WENDI-II. The neutron energy spectrum was calculated using the Monte Carlo simulation. Measurement and calculation were performed under realistic case scenarios using maximum beam energies (Emax) of 290, 350 and 400 MeV u -1. Moreover, H*(1 in ES wa
