TL;DR: The low combined uncertainty observed and low beam and energy-dependence make EBT3 suitable for dosimetry in various applications.

TL;DR: An overview of the current state of developments of radiotherapy with FLASH electrons and protons, very high energy electrons as well as laser-driven particles and the related challenges in dosimetry due to the ultra-high dose rate during the short radiation pulses is given.

TL;DR: For ions with small total range, dosimetry without applying FCF could in principle be performed in phantoms of materials other than water without a significant loss of accuracy, however, in clinical high-energy ion beams with penetration depths zw-eq ≥3 cm, absorbed dose measurements should be directly performed in water or accurate values of FCF need to be established.

TL;DR: These results are of direct relevance to graphite calorimetry in low-energy protons but given that the fluence correction factor is almost solely influenced by non-elastic nuclear interactions the results are also relevant for plastic phantoms that consist of carbon, oxygen and hydrogen atoms as well as for soft tissues.

TL;DR: To take into account the high dose-rates used with scanned beams and LET-values, experimental results are compared to a model combining two theories and excellent agreement is found between experimental and theoretical k s-values.
