Abstract:
We present an approach to use Al2O3:C; Mg-based fluorescent nuclear track detectors (FNTDs) and confocal laser scanning microscopy as a semiautomatic tool for fluence measurements in clinical ion beams. The method was found to cover a linear energy transfer (LET) range from at least L∞(Al2O3) = 0.5 keV/μm to 61; 000 keV/μm with a detection efficiency ≥99.83
