Description
The basic characteristics of cellulose triacetate (CTA) film dosimeter have been investigated with 5, 8, and 15 MeV proton beams. The optical density change per unit absorbed dose for 8 and 15 MeV protons is the same as that given for electron beams, but a little smaller for 5 MeV protons. The CTA dosimeter was found to be useful to obtain dose distributions with high spatial resolution in samples exposed to proton beams. (author)
