Abstract
EPR spectra of alanine dosimeters irradiated by gamma-rays and by alpha-particles were measured at different microwave power. The spectra were decomposed into three components corresponding to different stable radiation-induced radicals. Different ratio of the components was obtained for gamma- and alpha-irradiated alanine. The observed effect can be used for discrimination of the contribution of alpha- and gamma-radiation in mixed radiation field. That may be useful for control of dose at phantom experiments with neutron boron capture therapy, performed in mixed neutron-gamma field in which alpha-particles are emitted through neutrons capture reaction with boron.
