Dosimetric response of microcrystaline L-alpha-alanine and standard bovine bone powder on 3.4 MeV/amu 59Co ions (LET approximately 5500 eV/nm) was investigated. The long-lived paramagnetic centers created by ion beams were measured after 51 and 420 days. Relative sensitivity compared to gamma rays was estimated at 0.2 for L-alpha-alanine and 0.15 for standard bovine bone powder.
