Evaluation of diamond and silicon detectors for linear energy transfer measurements of therapeutic helium, carbon, oxygen, and neon ion beams.

Objective.Diamond and silicon detectors are increasingly popular tools for dose-averaged linear energy transfer (LET) in waterL¯wmeasurements of therapeutic ion beams. The LET measured in detector materials is linearly scaled to the LET in water usin…
