title: The use of thermoluminescent detectors for measurements of proton dose distribution.
abstract: The aim of this work was to investigate the use of TLD-100 detectors in the field of relative dosimetry in proton eye facilities. These dosemeters, of different sizes, were used to measure transverse and longitudinal distributions of 62 MeV unmodulated proton beams at INFN-LNS in Catania. Comparison with other detectors, such as ionisation chambers, GAF and radiographic film, is extensively discussed.
