Effects of radical scavengers on nanocomposite Fricke gel for heavy ion beam irradiation

Abstract

Abstract NC-FG (nanocomposite Fricke gel) dosimeter is a 3D dosimeter for heavy ion beam without LET dependence. In this study, we evaluate the effects of silver perchlorate, a radical scavenger, on NC-FG. We find that radiological properties of NC-FG are changed by small amounts of silver perchlorate. Especially, dose response at high LET enhanced.
