abstract = {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 $0.5-5\%.$ During
radiation, the amount of oxygen is measured using an optical
sensor in predefined water phantoms of 500µl – 60 ml
volumes. The dependence of oxygen is measured as a function
of the irradiated volume, the initial concentration of
oxygen, the dose rate, the total dose and the particle type.
First experiments with an irradiated phantom coupled to an
unirradiated part serving as oxygen supply have shown that
the percentage of depleted oxygen is independent on the dose
rate but the total irradiation time (see Fig 1) and total
dose (see Tab 1) needed to reach a saturation point is
highly dependend on the dose rate.},
