Dosimetric and preparation procedures for irradiating biological models with pulsed electron beam at ultra-high dose-rate.

CONCLUSION: We developed procedures to accurately irradiate biological models. Our method is based on validated absolute dosimeters and extends their use to routine FLASH irradiations. We reached an agreement of 3% between the delivered and prescribed dose and developed the requirements needed for workflows of preclinical and clinical studies.
