Abstract

A method is described for optimal adjustment of the heating conditions for an integrating thermoluminescent dosimetry system. Readings for both the first and second heating cycles with different heating currents are obtained for samples from a batch of phosphor exposed to a known dose. The optimal current setting corresponds to that for the minimum value of reading from the second heating cycle and varies with the dose range and type of exposure (e.g. gamma or neutron radiation) used. The method applies for phosphor in the form of loose crystals or in Teflon disks.
