Absolute dosimetry on dynamically scanned 4T wiggler beams for synchrotron radiotherapy using graphite calorimetry
Graphite calorimetry has previously been established as a primary method for determining the absorbed dose delivered to a dynamically scanned sample in the Imaging and Medical Beamline (IMBL) on the Australian Synchrotron. The beamline has since increased the maximum field at which the wiggler can operate from 3T to 4T, resulting in changed spectral output and significantly higher dose rates (up to around 6000 Gy/s). We use the graphite calorimeter and calculations to determine the absorbed dose to water delivered by these new beams and compare the results with measurements from a PTW 31014 Pinpoint chamber and two PTW 31022 3D Pinpoint chambers, which were all calibrated in conventional x-ray beams. The results are in good agreement with the conventional x-ray calibrations for a range of filtrations. We conclude that the current dosimetry protocol with pinpoint ionization chambers is appropriate at the new wiggler field.
期刊介绍:
The journal seeks to publish papers that present advances in the following areas: spontaneous and stimulated luminescence (including scintillating materials, thermoluminescence, and optically stimulated luminescence); electron spin resonance of natural and synthetic materials; the physics, design and performance of radiation measurements (including computational modelling such as electronic transport simulations); the novel basic aspects of radiation measurement in medical physics. Studies of energy-transfer phenomena, track physics and microdosimetry are also of interest to the journal.
Applications relevant to the journal, particularly where they present novel detection techniques, novel analytical approaches or novel materials, include: personal dosimetry (including dosimetric quantities, active/electronic and passive monitoring techniques for photon, neutron and charged-particle exposures); environmental dosimetry (including methodological advances and predictive models related to radon, but generally excluding local survey results of radon where the main aim is to establish the radiation risk to populations); cosmic and high-energy radiation measurements (including dosimetry, space radiation effects, and single event upsets); dosimetry-based archaeological and Quaternary dating; dosimetry-based approaches to thermochronometry; accident and retrospective dosimetry (including activation detectors), and dosimetry and measurements related to medical applications.
