The Dresden platform for high dose rate radiobiology consists of the superconducting research electron linear accelerator ELBE, two research beam lines at the Dresden University Proton Therapy facility and the DRACO laser accelerator. Recent radiobiological FLASH experiments using zebrafish embryos performed in these facilities will be presented. A focus will be laid on instrumentation and...
In this talk I will present the many potential applications of SiC radiation detectors for demanding radiation environments and I will give an overview of the recent technological developments at Instituto de Microelectrónica de Barcelona (CNM-CSIC) in Spain. Finally I will show the results of the SiC diodes for FLASH dosimetry developed by CNM in the framework of the EMPIR-UHDPulse project.
We tested micro-diamonds (collaboration with the University of Roma tor Vergata) and ultra-thin ionization chambers (collaboration with the university of Santiago de Compostela), and investigated optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) sheets, point scintillators and a 2D scintillating dosimetry system (in collaboration with SCK-CEN and Agfa).
The ElectronFlash allows systematic...
The large energy distributions characterizing protons accelerated through laser-driven mechanisms presents a problem for potential clinical applications requiring precise energy selection. A method of radiochromic film (RCF) spectroscopy of polyenergetic proton beams based on a deconvolution procedure is presented. This has been tested through irradiation of several RCF configurations with a...
