Five various materials employed as track-etched detectors (TEDs) were exposed in beams of carbon ions with energy 290 MeV. u(-1) in the HIMAC-BIO facility in Japan. The exposures were performed behind various types of polymethyl methacrylate shielding. The beam had two possible set-ups--monoenergetic set-up and modulated spread-out Bragg peak set-up. All used TEDs are polyallyl diglycol carbonates (PADCs): Page from Mouldings (Pershore) Ltd, Tastrak from Track Analysis Systems Ltd, both from the UK; USF4 from American Technical Plastics from the USA and two products of Japan Fukuvi Chemical Industry Co., Ltd--TD1 and Baryotrak. Spectra of linear energy transfer and depth-dose distributions were obtained. Besides, differences among PADCs are discussed.
五种用作径迹蚀刻探测器(TEDs)的不同材料在日本HIMAC - BIO设施中能量为290 MeV·u⁻¹的碳离子束中进行了照射。照射是在各种类型的聚甲基丙烯酸甲酯屏蔽后进行的。束流有两种可能的设置——单能设置和调制扩展布拉格峰设置。所有使用的TEDs都是聚烯丙基二甘醇碳酸酯(PADCs):来自英国Mouldings(Pershore)有限公司的Page、来自Track Analysis Systems有限公司的Tastrak;来自美国American Technical Plastics的USF4以及日本福聚化学工业有限公司的两种产品——TD1和Baryotrak。获得了线能量转移谱和深度剂量分布。此外,还讨论了PADCs之间的差异。
