The Photo Injector Test facility at DESY in Zeuthen (PITZ) can provide unique beam parameters regarding delivered dose and dose rate. With an average dose rate of up to 1E7 Gy/s and peak dose rates of up to 4E13 Gy/s, PITZ is fully capable of UHDR irradiation which should allow FLASH radiation therapy.
A completely new beamline exclusively for FLASH RT and biology experiments was built. One...
A detector system for the purpose of quality assurance in radiation therapy is being developed and test measurements are presented. It is based on a beryllium oxide probe coupled to an optical fiber. Radioluminescence in the material generates photons, whose number is proportional to the dose absorbed in the probe. The photons are detected by very sensitive time resolving single photon...
