Energy deposition of secondary charged particles produced in tissue irradiated by heavy ion beams is important information in order to evaluate biological effects of cells. In this study a wall-less tissue equivalent proportional counter (wall-less TEPC) was designed and its performance tests have been carried out using checking sources such as a Cm-244 $$alpha$$ source. It is found that the wall-less TEPC can be used in measurements of energy deposition in tissue irradiated by heavy ion beams, based on measurements of gas gain in tissue equivalent gas and lineal energy distributions.
