Postal dosimetry audit for scanning proton beam using radiophotoluminescence glass dosimeter: A multicenter pilot study
We established a procedure for the postal dose audits of proton beams using RPLD and presented the results of a multicenter pilot study. By standardizing the reference conditions, the dosimetry uncertainty was estimated at 2.92%. The results demonstrated the feasibility of performing an independent third-party dose audit of scanning proton beams using RPLD, and for such postal dose audits for proton beams, the irradiation conditions should be standardized to reduce uncertainties. These results are expected to contribute to the development of proton beams.
