Abstract

Thermoluminescent dosemeters of LiF:Mg,Ti, LiF:Mg,Cu,P and CaF2:Dy were used as secondary standards in calibration measurements of X-ray emission from a laser-produced aluminium plasma. Relative sensitivities of the thermoluminescent dosemeters were found to be independent of dose rate over a wide dose rate region. The photon detection efficiency of thermoluminescent dosemeters is compared to that of semiconductor Si photodiodes. The thermoluminescent dosemeters are presented as a powerful tool for testing of capability of a semiconductor photodiode detector of X-ray pulse energy emitted from the laser-produced plasma.
