Abstract :
A 63 MeV proton beam is characterised using Optically Stimulated Luminescent films. The Linear Energy Transfer dependence is investigated and shown to be negligible. The depth dose curves in different materials are monitored using three different methods. All the resulting curves agree on both the front dose and the Bragg peak position.
