Figure 4.
Impact of scintillation quenching on a 155-MeV Bragg peak. Plastic scintillator measurements are compared to ion-chamber measurements to illustrate the quenching effect. Comparison is also made with Monte Carlo simulation. “Dose, Geant4” shows the simulation of dose deposition in water and “Plast. scint., Geant4” shows the simulation of the quenched response of a scintillation detector.
