New Developments in Thermoluminescent Dosimetry

R. Schayes, C. Brooke, I. Kozlowitz, M. Lheureux

Abstract

After a survey of usable phosphors and their efficiency, an operational system of thermoluminescent dosimetry is presented. The effect of peak height vs. integral measurement of the glow curve is investigated. The main characteristics of the various thermoluminescent dosimeter types are summarized, and the range and limits of use studied. All known methods for multiple readings of thermoluminescent dosimeters are described.
