The Performance of LiF:Mg-Ti for Proton Dosimetry within the Framework of the MoVe IT Project

Proton therapy represents a technologically advanced method for delivery of radiation treatments to tumors. The determination the biological effectiveness is one objectives MoVe IT (Modeling and Verification Ion Beam Treatment Planning) project National Institute Nuclear Physics (INFN) CSN5. aim present work, which part project, was evaluate performance thermoluminescent dosimeters (TLDs-100) dose verification in proton beam line. Four irradiation experiments were performed experimental room at Trento Therapy Center, where 150 MeV monoenergetic available. A total 80 TLDs used. arranged or two rows accommodated specially designed water-equivalent phantom. In setup, enters orthogonally distributed along profile, while delivers doses 0.8 Gy 1.5 Bragg peak. For each stage, depth–dose curve determined by TLD readings. results showed good TLDs-100, proving their reliability recordings future radiobiological planned within context.
