| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Polymer gel dosimeters consisting of methacrylate monomers, antioxidant with radiation-crosslinked gel were prepared. The dosimeters became cloudy by exposing to 150 MeV/u He ions, 290 MeV/u C ions, and 500 MeV/u Fe ions. Absorbance of the irradiated dosimeters decreased with increasing dose rate for each ion. The sensitivity of the dosimeters decreased in order of He, C, Fe ions irradiation at the similar dose rate. The increase in a linear energy transfer (LET) affected the decrease in the number of polymerization initiators such as OH radical, resulting in the reduction of the sensitivity of the dosimeters. The sensitivity of the dosimeter was closely correlated with the dose rate and LET. On the other hand, the absorbance of the dosimeter was almost constant along the trajectory of each ion, and then reached a maximum around the Bragg peak. Furthermore, the three-dimensional dose distribution for 290 MeV/u C ions was evaluated by using a multi-layered polymer gel dosimeter.
