Five various materials employed as track-etched detectors (TEDs) were exposed in beams of carbon ions with energy 290 MeV. u(-1) in the HIMAC-BIO facility in Japan. The exposures were performed behind various types of polymethyl methacrylate shielding. The beam had two possible set-ups--monoenergetic set-up and modulated spread-out Bragg peak set-up. All used TEDs are polyallyl diglycol carbonates (PADCs): Page from Mouldings (Pershore) Ltd, Tastrak from Track Analysis Systems Ltd, both from the UK; USF4 from American Technical Plastics from the USA and two products of Japan Fukuvi Chemical Industry Co., Ltd--TD1 and Baryotrak. Spectra of linear energy transfer and depth-dose distributions were obtained. Besides, differences among PADCs are discussed.
