Active mobile dosimetry unit (Liulin), passive plastic nuclear track detectors (PNTD) and thermoluminescent detectors (TLD) were exposed in a C290 MeV/n beam at HIMAC–BIO (NIRS, Japan). Two different types of beam configuration were use: monoenergetic (MONO) and spread-out Bragg peak (SOBP). Relative response of TLDs in was re-proved to be dependent on the linear energy transfer (LET). Liulin is able to measure perpendicularly incident charged particles up to similar to 7 to 35 keV/mm (in water), PNTD can measure from similar to 7 to 400 keV/um, independently of the registration angle. The results from both methods are compared and combined for both beams’ configuration, and a good agreement is observed.
