%X Objective: This work investigates the use of Al2O3:C and Al2O3:C,Mg optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) detectors to determine both the dose and the radiation quality in light ion beams. The radiation quality is here expressed through either the linear energy transfer (LET) or the closely related metric Qeff, which depends on the particle's speed and effective charge. The derived LET and Qeffvalues are applied to improve the dosimetry in light ion beams.</td><td width="150">

%X #xD;Approach: OSL detectors were irradiated in mono-energetic1H-,4He-,12C-, and16O-ion beams. The OSL signal is associated with two emission bands that were separated using a pulsed stimulation technique and subjected to automatic corrections based on reference irradiations. Each emission band was investigated independently for dosimetry, and the ratio of the two emission intensities was parameterized as a function of fluence- and dose-averaged LET, as well as Qeff. The determined radiation quality was subsequently applied to correct the dose for ionization quenching.</td><td width="150">
