Open full text 5 citations

Abstract

Lithium fluoride thermoluminescent dosemeters require annealing in order to erase all effects due to previous irradiations (Zimmerman, Rhyner and Cameron 1966). A method is described here in which at least 50 LiF discs, 1.2*0.04 cm, may be annealed in a small tube that occupies little oven space.
