Technical note: Characterization and practical applications of a novel plastic scintillator for online dosimetry for an ultrahigh dose rate (FLASH)
Although FLASH radiation therapy is a promising novel technique, the ultrahigh pulsed dose rates mean that experimental dosimetry is very challenging. The plastic scintillator shows a linear and reproducible response and is able to accurately measure the radiation absorbed dose delivered by 16-MeV electrons at UHPDR. The dose is measured accurately in real time with a greater level of precision than that achieved with a radiochromic film.
