Abstract:Background:
The present study is aimed at calculating relative absorbed-dose energy response correction (R) of commonly used thermoluminescent dosimeters (TLDs) such as LiF, Li2B4O7, and Al2O3 as a function of depth in water for protons (50–250 MeV/n) and carbon ion (80–480 MeV/n) beams using Monte Carlo-based FLUKA code.
Materials and Methods:
On-axis depth-dose profiles in water are calculated for protons (50–250 MeV/n) and carbon ion (80–480 MeV/n) b… Show more
