Abstract

At Ultra-high dose rate (UHDR) reference dosimetry for FLASH radiotherapy is still being defined. Although alanine dosimeters are passive detectors requiring a post-irradiation time-consuming analysis, they can serve as reliable and accurate dosimetric reference also at UHDR beams. In this work a systematic study of the alanine pellets response exposed to UHDR low-energy electron beams is presented.
