The quenching effect in PRESAGE® dosimetry of proton beams: is an empirical correction feasible?
conference contribution
posted on 2023-05-23, 09:45 authored by Doran, SJ, Gorjiara, T, Adamovics, J, Kuncic, Z, Kacperek, A, Baldock, CChemical dosimeters, including PRESAGE® as used in optical CT, exhibit significant quenching effects in response to proton irradiation and this may limit their widespread uptake. This study performs careful measurements of the observed quenching of a recently developed variant of PRESAGE® in a 60 MeV proton beam and uses them to attempt an empirical correction of a simple superposition of two unmodulated beams.
