“…The response of these RCFs to more than one radiation type has been recently evaluated for their proven use as detectors for profile measurement of low energy ion beams [112], as well as for laser accelerated proton beams [113]. While their response to low energy protons has been seen to be independent on the energy in the range 2-10 MeV [113], their response results to be strongly LET dependent [112,114,115]. It should be noted that HD-V2 Gafchromic™ films have a different structure from the other Gafchromic™ films as they feature a 12 µm thin active layer on a 97 µm polyester substrate.…”

Radiochromic films are mainly used for two-dimensional dose verification in photon, electron, and proton therapy treatments. Moreover, the radiochromic film types available today allow their use in a wide dose range, corresponding to applications from low-medical diagnostics to high-dose beam profile measurements in charged particle medical accelerators. An in-depth knowledge of the characteristics of radiochromic films, of their operating principles, and of the dose reading techniques is of paramount importance to exploit all the features of this interesting and versatile radiation detection system. This short review focuses on these main aspects by considering the most recent works on the subject.

The study re ported in this pa per aimed to in ves ti gate the re sponse of a GAFChromic® HD-V2 film do sim e ter in the dose range be tween 10 and 300 Gy, nor mally used to per form ir ra di a tion tests on elec tronic de vices with a 60 Co gamma-ray irradiator. The well-de fined linear ity of re sponse in terms of absorbance as a func tion of ab sorbed dose, eas i ness of han dling and data anal y sis of ir ra di ated do sim e ters, reproducibility, sta bil ity, and in sen si tiv ity to vis i ble light and most of the en vi ron men tal pa ram e ters, make HD-V2 film a flex i ble, in ex pen sive and re li able dose mea sure ment de vice. The study has shown a fog ging ef fect of the do sim e ter response since its value changes over time. Strat e gies and ad e quate pre cau tions to take into account changes on HD-V2 film phys i cal prop er ties for cal i bra tion and rou tine use in in dus trial ap pli ca tions, with a spe cific ref er ence to ra di a tion test ing of elec tronic de vices, have been discussed.Key words: gafchromic do sim e try, HD-V2 film, gamma-ray ir ra di a tion, dose, elec tronic de vice F.
