abstract = {Objective:We present a novel detector system capable of
simultaneously obtaining two-dimensional (2D) dose and
linear energy transfer (LET) maps from Al2O3films of sizes
up to 190x190 mm2using optically stimulated luminescence
$(OSL).\
Approach:The$ system is based on the OSL from
doped Al2O3films measured using pulsed stimulation and
time-resolved OSL detection. The system was calibrated in
proton,4He-, and12C-ion beams. The minimal detectable dose,
response homogeneity, pixel cross-stimulation, and precision
were also investigated. To demonstrate the system's
performance, 2D maps of dose and LET of a proton Bragg curve
were $measured.\
Main$ results:The system was
demonstrated to be capable of obtaining absorbed dose and
LET 2D maps with a spatial resolution set to 1.0x1.0 mm2.
The system was calibrated over a clinically relevant range
of LET values and characterized through assessment of
minimal detectable dose (<25 mGy), readout protocols,
response homogeneity, precision, and relative detector
efficiency. Dose and LET were found to be measurable with
precisions of $3.2\%$ and $10\%,$
$respectively.\
Significance:To$ our knowledge, this is
the first passive detector system capable of measuring LET
and dose simultaneously in 2D with a 1.0 mm2spatial
resolution and no prior dose knowledge. Such properties are
required to experimentally validate simulated dose and LET
distributions in ion-beam therapy, paving the way for sub-mm
mapping of radiation-induced relative biological
effectiveness.},
