Descrizione
Ultra-high dose rates delivered in FLASH radiotherapy introduce significant challenges for conventional dosimetry, potentially affecting detector response and reliability. In a scenario where comprehensive and fully established dosimetric guidelines are still evolving, plastic scintillators represent a promising alternative due to their fast temporal response, water equivalence, and versatility in detector design. Implemented as scintillating fibres, sheets, or three-dimensional volumes, these detectors enable dose measurements and the investigation of spatial dose distributions under FLASH irradiation conditions. This contribution presents the main characteristics of a set of plastic scintillator-based dosimeters and reports experimental measurements performed at the CPFR facility, highlighting their potential for high-dose-rate beam characterisation.
