Conversion from Tooth Enamel Dose to Organ Doses for Electron Spin Resonance Dosimetry.

Use of electron paramagnetic resonance dosimetry with tooth enamel for retrospective dose assessment

Quaternary dating by electron spin resonance (ESR) applied to human tooth enamel

This paper presents the results obtained from using electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) to analyse tooth enamel found at the Aguazuque archaeological site (Cundinamarca, Colombia), located on the savannah near Bogota at 4° 37’ North and 74°17’ West. It was presumed that the tooth enamel came from a collective burial consisting of 23 people, involving men, women and children. The tooth enamel ...

MAGNETISATION AND ELECTRON SPIN RESONANCE STUDIES OF TETRAHEDRAL AMORPHOUS CARBON

The magnetisation and electron spin resonance (ESR) spectrum of two specimens of tetrahedral amorphous carbon (ta-C), deposited from a filtered cathodic arc, were measured over a wide temperature range. The magnetisation was found to consist of superparamagnetic, paramagnetic and diamagnetic contributions. The superparamagnetic contribution resembled that recently found in carbon prepared from ...

Biodosimetry: chromosome aberration in lymphocytes and electron paramagnetic resonance in tooth enamel from atomic bomb survivors.

One hundred enamel samples isolated from extracted teeth donated by atomic bomb survivors were subjected to free radical measurement by means of electron paramagnetic resonance (ESR). Results comparing ESR with the chromosome aberration frequency in lymphocytes of the tooth donors, and with the physically estimated DS86 dose suggested that ESR data correlated more closely with chromosome data t...

Study on influence of X-ray baggage scan on ESR dosimetry for SNTS using human tooth enamel.

The influence of X-ray baggage scanning on electron spin resonance (ESR) dosimetry studies around the Semipalatinsk Nuclear Test Site (SNTS) has been examined at Incheon Airport in Korea, which is a transfer point of the routes from Kazakhstan to Japan. Utilized dosimeters are Japanese human tooth enamel for ESR and glass dosimeters. The difference between the estimated doses with the X-ray sca...
