AI Article Synopsis
- The study explored the radioluminescence (RL) properties of the LiMgPO4 detector when exposed to a proton beam at the Institute of Nuclear Physics in Krakow.
- The measurements utilized a remote optical fiber setup, allowing real-time data collection on the proton beam's current and parameters while using a Tm-doped LiMgPO4 crystal.
- Results indicated that the LiMgPO4 crystal was highly sensitive and reacted quickly to radiation, showing potential for use as an effective detector to monitor proton beam characteristics in radiotherapy.
Article Abstract
The radioluminescence (RL) emitted by LiMgPO4 detector under proton beam irradiation was investigated in real time at the radiotherapy facility in the Institute of Nuclear Physics Polish Academy of Sciences in Krakow. The facility uses protons accelerated by the AIC-144 isochronous cyclotron up to the energy of 60 MeV. The measurements of RL were carried out using a remote optical fiber device with a luminophore detector and photomultiplier located at opposite ends of the optical fiber. A thin slice of LiMgPO4 doped with Tm (1.2 mol%) crystal was exposed to the proton beam. The tested detector allowed for the measurement of proton beam current, flux fluence and determination of proton beam time structure parameters. The investigation of LiMgPO4 crystal showed its high sensitivity, fast reaction time to irradiation and possibility of application as the detector for control of proton beam parameters.
