Self-developing radiochromic film is widely used in radiotherapy QA procedures. To compensate for typical inhomogeneities, the triple channel analysis method commonly photon-irradiated film. We investigated applicability of this GafchromicTMEBT3 (Ashland) irradiated with a clinically carbon-ion beam. Calibration curves were taken from EBT3 specimens monoenergetic beams different doses. Measurem...

by MIAO YU, M.S. Washington State University August 2010 Chair: Richard J. Watts In situ chemical oxidation (ISCO) using persulfate is a promising technique for the remediation of soil and groundwater contaminants. Persulfate activated by iron (III)-EDTA or sodium hydroxide can accelerate the degradation of contaminants. However, in previous studies of ISCO remediation processes, the applicatio...

Measurement of ultraviolet (UV) radiation is important for human health, especially with the expanded usage of short wavelength UV for sterilization purposes. This work examines unlaminated Gafchromic EBT3 film for UV radiation monitoring. The authors exposed the film to select wavelengths in the UV spectrum, ranging from 207 to 328 nm, and measured the change in optical density. The response o...

Small photon field used in the intensity modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) and stereotactic radio surgery (SRS). It is difficult to measure beam profile and output factor because of electron disequilibrium, partial shutting of source because of this challenges, we need the good detector. This article is collection of 5 or more article and summary of the results of EBT3 that compared with EBT2 film ...
