CaSO4:Dy thermoluminescent dosimeters: response as a function of storage conditions

Abstract Environmental effects on TLD-900 (CaS04: Dy) thermoluminescent dosimeters response are discussed. Fading and glow-curve analysis for a 30-day test period are presented.

A Comprehensive Study of LiF TL Response to High Energy Photons and Electrons

Effects of beam quality, cavity size, TLD state, and medium on the response of thermoluminescent dosimeters were studied. LiF TL-700 powder, extruded rods, and ribbons were irradiated with Co-60 gamma rays, 4, 6, 8, 33, and 45 -MV x rays, and 3, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, and 45-MeV electrons. Relative TL responses were assessed in water and Lucite, and the results compared. The results of this study were compared with those of previously published studies, and certain discrepancies resolved.
