Abstract

The glow curves of LiF detectors have at least of seven peaks, e.g. in the 100-400°C temperature range. Unfortunately these peaks are strongly overlapping, however, the readings are made with special care. The glow curve reminds us of a NaJ spectra of poor resolution. The common light integration leads to questionable results, if the ratios of different peaks are not constant. It is the situation for instance, if a LiF detector is exposed in mixed neutron-gamma radiation field, because the peak ratios are different for the two kinds of radiation. This effect can be observed alike in the case of TLD-100, TLD-600 and TLD-700 detectors. Many glow curves of TLD-100, TLD-600 and TLD-700 detectors were investigated at different proportion mixing of neutron and gamma radiations. The possible adaptation of programs used in gamma spectroscopy for glow-peak selection was studied. This report gives a scope of our experiences.
