Hadron therapy is an innovative mode of radiation therapy for cancer treatment which enables tumour cells to be more effectively destroyed than conventional radiation therapy using photons. Based on single-crystal CVD, super-thin diamond membranes obtained using deep Ar/O plasma etching, a prototype of a solid-state microdosimeter for Linear Energy Transfer measurements was produced at the Diamond Sensors Laboratory of CEA-LIST. The response of the diamond membrane microdosimeter to single projectiles was investigated in ion micro-beams. This novel microdosimeter was tested in a 100 MeV therapeutic proton beam at Institut Curie and the experimental data compared to Monte Carlo simulation.Read less <
