Abstract

Abstract MTS-N detectors are pellets of LiF:Mg,Ti produced at the Institute of Nuclear Physics (IFJ) in Krakow, Poland. The thermoluminescence (TL) response of these detectors to gamma radiation doses up to 10 kGy only has been studied earlier. The aim of this paper is to evaluate the TL and EPR response of MTS detectors irradiated with 60 Co gamma radiation at high doses up to 1200 kGy. The results indicate that the MTS-N glow curve presents a new peak at temperature near 420 °C for doses over 700 kGy. This peak is probably associated with the second EPR signal that appears for doses over 100 kGy. The defect center related to this signal is undergoing further studies.
