Abstract: The invention relates to a detector of charged particles made of silicon carbide and capable of performing dosimetric measurements in the field of quality controls of the beam lines at proton-therapy centres. With such detector it is further possible to perform measurements on beams of high- intensity charged particles produced by laser-matter interaction.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a silicon carbide telescopic detector for ionizing radiation or a measuring instrument equipped with such a telescopic detector for identifying the type of ionizing radiation and/or measuring a dose released by the radiation, a detector production procedure, as well as uses and original methods which use the detector.

Abstract: A method for measuring radiotherapy doses on a subject undergoing radiotherapy or other treatments with ionizing radiations includes: electrically insulating the subject during the radiotherapy treatment; applying at least one electrode to the subject, or connected to an amplifier with a system for acquiring the signal outgoing from the amplifier; detecting, by means of the at least one electrode, the voltage pulse produced during the radiotherapy treatment and deriving from the ionization secondary electrons set into motion and/or by the loaded net charge induced in the subject; converting said voltage pulse into a value of charge induced by the treatment in the subject; and determining the dose of ionizing radiations received by the subject by a processing system which uses the above value of the induced charge, the energy spectrum of the incident beam and the contact surface of the incident beam on the subject.
