High-level gamma-ray dosimetry using common TLD phosphors

A. Lakshmanan, R.C. Bhatt

Abstract

Thermoluminescence of high temperature peaks, ultraviolet radiation (253.7 nm) induced thermoluminescence and phosphorescence, damage effects and optical density changes in a few common TLD phosphors namely CaSO4 : Tm, CaSO4 : Dy, LiF TLD-100 and Li2B4O7 : Mn were studied from the point of view of measuring high level gamma doses (10(2)--10(6) Gy).
