- Abstract
We investigated the radiation-induced luminescence of cerium- and nitrogen-doped optical fibers at high dose rates (>40 Gy(H2O)/s) using high-energy proton beams (19–73 MeV) at flux and fluences representative of FLASH radiotherapy treatments. For each fiber material, we evaluated the dosimetry performances of both pristine (not irradiated) and preirradiated samples to study the effect of an X-ray pretreatment, up to a dose of 260 kGy. The core sizes of 50
