  Abstract

The microdosimetric one hit detector model was applied to calculate the dose response, energy response and relative thermoluminescence (TL) efficiency, {eta}, of high sensitive LiF:Mg, Cu, P and Al2O3:C detectors after their irradiations by X rays, gamma rays, beta electrons and heavy charged particles (HCP). Microdosimetric distributions in 60 nm targets for photons and beta rays were calculated using the TRION MC track structure code, for HCP using the analytical model of Xapsos with modified transport of secondary electrons and the model of Olko & Booz. The calculated values of {eta} compare favourably with a broad spectrum of experimental data, including ICHIBAN experiments with HCP. The model offers a method for calculating the thermoluminescence response of TL foils applied to 2-D dosimetry of radiotherapeutic proton beams.
