1. A sensor head including:

  • a proton beam detecting sensor head for measuring a penetration depth of a proton beam in tissue;

    the sensor head including an inorganic scintillating mixture comprising at least a first and a second component each having a characteristic behavior in response to an irradiation with protons, showing a typical Bragg peak with respect to a relative depth dose;

    said first component having a quenching characteristic in a Bragg peak region and said second component showing an increased efficiency in the Bragg peak region, both being related to a reference curve for a relative dose.
