ON THE TWO MODES OF NANODOSIMETRIC EXPERIMENT

A method of estimation of the ionisation cluster-size distribution for single primary particle from experimental data obtained in setup without primary particle detector is presented. The Jet Counter nanodosemeter was used in two kinds of experiments with alpha particles to validate the method. Possible application of the method is to perform measurements with previously precluded types of radiation like photons, neutrons and electrons. Details and limitations of the proposed approach are discussed.
