Flexible fully organic indirect detector for megaelectronvolts proton beams

Abstract A flexible, fully organic detector for proton beams is presented here. The operates in the indirect mode and composed of a polysiloxane-based scintillating layer coupled to an phototransistor, that assessed flexibility low-voltage operation ( V = −1 V), with limit detection 0.026 Gy min . We present kinetic model able precisely reproduce dynamic response device under irradiation provide further insight into physical processes controlling it. This designed target real-time in-situ dose monitoring during therapy demonstrates mechanical low power operation, assessing its potential employment as personal dosimeter high comfort risk patient. results show how such represents promising tool particle over large area irregular surfaces, suitable many applications, from experimental scientific research innovative theranostics.
