Characterization and real‐time optical measurements of the ionizing radiation dose response for a new radiochromic medium
Bibliographic record
Abstract
A new radiochromic film, GafChromic EBT, was investigated for use in a real-time radiation dosimetry system. It was found to be approximately eight times more sensitive to ionizing radiation dose, exhibited less postexposure development and achieved stable readout faster than one of its predecessors, GafChromic MD-55. A clear distinction in change in optical density between exposure and postexposure was observed, but the measurements obtained during exposure were not linear with time or dose. This could not be explained by a shift in wavelength of maximum change in absorbance, as it was stable at approximately 636 nm during the entire exposure range (up to 9.52 Gy). Increasing the spectral window of interest over which calculations were performed did little to correct the nonlinearity. The radiochromic film exhibited small dose rate dependence in real-time measurements, with an increase in standard deviation of change in optical density measurements from 0.9% to 1.8% over a sixfold variation in dose rate. Overall, GafChromic EBT has increased sensitivity and decreased postexposure darkening, and this bodes well for its potential role as a radiation dosimeter, including real-time applications.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
