Lighting up FLASH and beyond: TLD response across four orders of magnitude in proton dose rate. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Background Thermoluminescent dosimeters (TLDs) are widely used for proton therapy dosimetry and remote audits. Yet their response under pulsed delivery and the ultrahigh dose rates relevant to proton FLASH remains incompletely characterized.
