Nanodosimetry is a branch of dosimetry for investigation and modeling of the interaction pattern of ionizing radiation in nanometre site-sizes (at unit density), which dates back to the 1970's (Pszona S. A track ion counter. Proceedings of Fifth Symposium on Microdosimetry EUR 5452 d-e-f, Published by the Commission of the European Communities, Luxemburg, pp. 1107-1122 (1976)). To date, the different experimental approaches have lead to developing of three fully functional nanodosimeters: the Jet Counter operated at NCBJ, the Ion Counter operated at PTB and Startrack Counter operated at INFN-LNL.

Abstract
Nanodosimetry is a branch of dosimetry for investigation and modeling of the interaction pattern of ionizing radiation in nanometre site-sizes (at unit density), which dates back to the 1970's (Pszona S. A track ion counter. Proceedings of Fifth Symposium on Microdosimetry EUR 5452 d-e-f, Published by the Commission of the European Communities, Luxemburg, pp. 1107-1122 (1976)). To date, the different experimental approaches have lead to developing of three fully functional nanodosimeters: the Jet Counter operated at NCBJ, the Ion Counter operated at PTB and Startrack Counter operated at INFN-LNL. Descriptions of each nanodosimeter as well as of the techniques used to investigate the track structure of ionizing particles are presented.
