Abstract
The dosimetric properties of a new, high-sensitivity thermoluminescence dosimeter [TLD] material were described. The sensitivity of the LiF(Mg, Cu, P) phosphor was .apprx. 23-fold higher than that of LiF (TLD-100). Its TL [thermoluminescent] response was linear from 0.3 mR-1000 R. It senergy dependence was similar to that of LiF (TLD-100). It was stable and reusable without significant loss of sensitivity. Its application to environmental radiation monitoring was described.This publication has 0 references indexed in Scilit:
