However, the projectiles fragments produced inside patients body reach a region beyond the range of the primary particles, and causeneedless exposure,knownas‘fragmenttail’,which spoilthe therapy effect seriously. The production of fragmentsis one of the most crucial, but not yet perfectly understood, problems to be considered when planning for the utilization of heavy ions therapy, and there is no detail experimental description about the dose distribution it caused until now. In this paper, we introduce a method of detecting the light fragments briefly with the aim of giving a feasible wayto measurethe spatial dosedistribution behind the Bragg peak or Spreadout Bragg peak (SOBP) using the CR-39 solid state nuclear track detector, the HSP- 1000 microscope systemand thePitFit trackmeasurementanalysis software.
