The objective of this paper is to provide a comprehensive review of the advancements and
techniques in real time two-dimensional (2D) dosimetry for external radiation therapy with …

The peculiar photoluminescence properties of radiation-induced electronic defects in lithium
fluoride (LiF), known as color centers, are well known for applications in tunable lasers and …

Real-time radioluminescence two-dimensional coatings have potential as dosemeters in
proton and carbon therapeutic beams. We investigated coatings made of nano and micro-(C …

We present the first results of a novel collaboration activity between ENEA Frascati Particle
Accelerator Laboratory and University La Sapienza Guidance and Navigation Laboratory in …

Protons are now increasingly used to treat pediatric medulloblastoma (MB) patients. We
designed and characterized a setup to deliver proton beams for in vivo radiobiology …

Irradiation of lithium fluoride with protons causes the formation of electronic defects, known
as colour centres, in the crystal lattice. Two stable defects among them, the F 2 and F 3+ …

Lithium fluoride crystals are used to assess proton-beam energy spectra. Proton irradiation
induces laser-active color centers in the crystal, whose density correlates with the absorbed …

Lithium fluoride (LiF) crystals and thin films are utilized as radiation detectors for energy
diagnostics of proton beams. This is achieved by analyzing the Bragg curves in LiF obtained …

The visible radiophotoluminescence response of radiation-induced stable F 2 and F 3+ color
centers in nominally pure lithium fluoride crystals, irradiated with a reference 60 Co gamma …

Lithium fluoride fluorescent nuclear track detectors (FNTD) irradiated with alpha-particles
were subjected to annealing at temperatures ranging up to 400° C. It was found that for the …
