AB  - Alternatively to the commonly used conventional radiotherapies (RT) using X-Rays or protons and heavier ions, the treatment with high dose rates, known as FLASH, is of higher interest since it provides a tumor control probability in the range of conventional radiotherapy and a highly improved sparing of the healthy tissue[1]. This phenomenon is not fully understood yet but one common explanation is the oxygen depletion theory due to which tissue enters a hypoxic state and becomes radioresistant. The presented study aims to characterize this effect by measuring the dependence of oxygen solubilized in water from irradiation with different dose rates and different radiation types. Hereby, the initial amount of oxygen in water is set to a physiological range of 0.5-5
