Characterization and performances of DOSION, a dosimetry equipment   dedicated to radiobiology experiments taking place at GANIL
  Currently, radiobiology experiments using heavy ions at GANIL(Grand Accelerateur National d Ions Lourds) are conducted under the supervision of the CIMAP (Center for research on Ions, MAterials and Photonics). In this context, a new beam monitoring equipment named DOSION has been developed. It allows to perform measurements of accurate fluence and dose maps in near real time for each biological sample irradiated. In this paper, we present the detection system, its design, performances, calibration protocol and measurements performed during radiobiology experiments. This setup is currently available for any radiobiology experiments if one wishes to correlate one s own sample analysis to state of the art dosimetric references.
