The dose and dose rate dependences of passive dosimeters, optical stimulated luminescence dosimeter (OSLD), Fricke chemical dosimeter and cellulose triacetate (CTA) film dosimeter, were investigated for dosimetry under UHDR irradiation of proton and electron beams. Under 230 MeV proton irradiation with an average dose rate of 50 Gy/s, no dose rate dependence was observed in either OSLD or Fricke dosimeter.

Detection limit, dose response and reproducibility were determined and a correction for light emitted from the side wall of the TLD chips developed. The effective depth of measurement was determined in the build-up region of 6, 10 and 18 MV megavoltage photon beams (Varian Truebeam) in comparison with a thin window plane parallel ionisation chamber (IBA, advanced Markus type).</div></div><div><h3>Results</h3><div>The readout of the TLDs was reproducible within 1.9 % (2SD) and they showed typical supralinear response at doses exceeding 1 Gy. A correction applied for light emission from the side wall of the chips reduced the effective reading at the surface in MV X-rays to within 18 % of the dose measured with the ionisation chamber.</div></div><div><h3>Conclusion</h3><div>Mixing carbon with the active TL material creates an opportunity to restrict readout of dosimeters to regions of interest. There are several clinical applications that can benefit including <em>in vivo</em> dosimetry on patients’ skin, source strength verification for beta emitters and dosimetry in electronic brachytherapy.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":21055,"journal":{"name":"Radiation Measurements","volume":"192 ","pages":"Article 107626"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2026-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146189394","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
