Dose- rather than fluence-averaged LET should be used as a single-parameter descriptor of proton beam quality for radiochromic film dosimetry. [PDF]
Med Phys, 2020 Purpose The dose response of Gafchromic EBT3 films exposed to proton beams depends on the dose, and additionally on the beam quality, which is often quantified with the linear energy transfer (LET) and, hence, also referred to as LET quenching ...

Measurement of energy dependence for XRCT radiochromic film [PDF]
Medical Physics, 2006 Gafchromic XRCT, radiochromic film is assessed over a broad energy range, from kilovoltage to megavoltage x rays for variations in reflected optical density to dose response. A large energy dependence was found with reflected optical density output for the same delivered dose varying from 7.8 +/- 0.35 at 25.5 keV (50 kVp) peaking at 12.1 +/- 0.5 at 54 ...
