A new method of experimental verification of radial dose distribution models using solid state thermoluminescent (TL) detectors LiF:Mg,Cu,P has been recently proposed. In this work the method was applied to verify the spatial distribution of energy deposition within a single 131Xe ion track. Detectors were irradiated at the Department of Physics of the University of Jyv̈askyl̈a, Finland. The obtained results have been compared with theoretical data, calculated according to the Zhang et al., Cucinotta et al. and Geiss et al. radial dose distribution (RDD) models. At the lowest dose range the Zhang et al. RDD model exhibited the best agreement as compared to experimental data. In the intermediate dose range, up to 104 Gy, the best agreement was found for the RDD model of Cucinotta et al. The probability of occurrence of doses higher than 104 Gy within a single 131Xe ion track was found to be lower than predicted by all the studied RDD models. This may be a result of diffusion of the charge, which is then captured by TL-related trapping sites, at the distances up to dozens of nanometers from the ionization site. ; Comment: Data contained within this manuscript have been presented during the 17th International Conference on Solid State Dosimetry, 22-27 September 2013, Recife, Brazil
