Response characterization of radiochromic OC‐1 films in photon, electron, and proton beams
OC-1 RCFs were found to be reliable dosimeters with no significant energy dependency in MV range for photon and electron beams including the FFF beams. They over-respond when irradiated by kV x-ray beams compared to MV x-ray beams. Caution must be exercised to maintain the orientation of the films when scanning. Due to the temporal growth in the net OD of the films, same post-irradiation time interval must be used for scanning the calibration and test films.
