The Gafchromic™ dosimetry system offers a relatively simple, low cost and accurate means of assessing low doses used for the Sterile Insect Technique and phytosanitary irradiation. The dosimeter is a small (1 × 1 cm square), thin (~100 micron) film that changes colourwhen irradiated. The...
An article to be published in the June 2022 issue of Radiation Physics and Chemistry but already available online presents a comparison of the results of a classic dose mapping and a Monte Carlo simulation. The work is a collaboration of three iia members: IBA,...
