EBT2 films response to alpha radiation at 48.3 MeV.
To advance the development of a radiobiological experimental set-up for alpha particle irradiations at the Arronax cyclotron, experiments were performed to get the dose response of Gafchomic EBT2 films for alpha particles at 48.3 MeV. A system has been developed using a thin monitor copper foil and an X-ray spectrometer to measure the beam intensity and to calculate the delivered dose. On the other hand, the authors have irradiated EBT2 films, with 6-MV X rays, to get the dose response of EBT2 films for photons. The dose response curve for alpha particles shows an effect of polymerisation saturation compared with the dose response curve for photons.
