TLDR
The results showed that with careful selection of a suitable diamond crystal relative dose distributions taken with the diamond probe would compare favourably with those obtained with the reference detectors within or of the order of 1% with or without dose rate dependence corrections.About:

TL;DR: It is shown that luminescent detectors have a key role to play in the development of FLASH, as the field rapidly progresses toward clinical adaptation, and the unique ability of certain luminescence-based methods to provide tumor oxygenation maps in real-time with submillimeter resolution can elucidate the radiobiological mechanisms behind the FLASH effect.

Dose rate dependence of the PTW 60019 microDiamond detector in high dose-per-pulse pulsed beams.
TL;DR: An experimental characterization of the collection efficiency of the microDiamond detector, focusing on high dose-per-pulse FFF beams, finds no significant dependence of thecollection efficiency on the pulse repetition frequency (or pulse period).

Formation of carbon quantum dots and nanodiamonds in laser ablation of a carbon film
TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that nanosecond near-IR pulsed laser ablation of a thin amorphous carbon film produces carbon quantum dots with a graphite structure and nanodiamonds with a characteristic size of 20? 500 nm on the substrate surface.

TL;DR: The advances in radiation oncology in the decade since AAPM Report 13 necessitated a new document on quality assurance (QA), and this report attempts to cover the physical aspects of QA both in a narrow or traditional sense and in a more integrated sense.

Dose rate dependence of a PTW diamond detector in the dosimetry of a 6 MV photon beam
TL;DR: The dose rate dependence and current/voltage characteristics of a PTW Riga diamond detector in the dosimetry of a 6 MV photon beam have been investigated, indicating that the dependence is an on average rather than an instantaneous dose rate.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evaluation of diamond radiation dosemeters
TL;DR: It is concluded that natural diamond can be used for the manufacture of reliable, small and near soft-tissue-equivalent dosemeters but that until the crystal selection and final product testing have been adequately standardised, the user needs to select the reliable dosemeter from a batch.

TL;DR: Investigating beam output factors for conformal radiation therapy and comparing the OFs measured with different detectors with those simulated with Monte Carlo methods shows that very small fields have a bad effect on dosimetric accuracy and precision.
