4. PH-TA1-SD meeting 27-2-2004 Dosimetry and beam profiling Gafchromic dosimetric Films: We characterized different types for dose measurement and beam profiling. MD-55HD-810 XR - Type HIGH SENSITIVITY MEASUREMENTS XR Film exposure of the beam after a few bunches of 42 ns. 6cm VERY USEFUL FOR SPECIAL IRRADIATIONS
