Abstract
A dosimetric calibration of three types of radiochromic films (GafChromicTM HD-V2, MD-V3, and EBT3) was carried out for absorbed doses (D) ranging up to 100 kGy using a 130 TBq Co60 γ-ray source. The optical densities (ODs) of the irradiated films were acquired with the transmission-mode flatbed film scanner EPSON GT-X980. The calibration data were cross-checked using the 20-MeV proton beam from the azimuthally varying field cyclotron at the Research Center for Nuclear Physics in Osaka University. These experimental results not only present the measurable dose ranges of the films depending on the readout wavelength, but also show consistency with our hypothesis that the OD response curve [log(OD)–log(D) curve] is determined by the volumetric average of the absorption dose and does not strongly depend on the type of radiation for the excitation.
