Long-term stability of Harshaw LiF:Mg,Cu,P TLDS.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The sensitivity of Harshaw™ magnesium/copper/phosphorus-doped lithium fluoride is shown to be stable over long time periods, even when, as is often the case in practical operations, the TLDs are read out only three times a year.

Assessing the Performance of LiF:Mg,Ti and LiF:Mg,Cu,P Extremity Dosemeters
In this paper, we present the results aimed at assessing the performance of two varieties of LiF detectors (LiF:Mg,Ti and LiF:Mg,Cu,P, of the EXTRAD type), relatively to reproducibility, detection threshold and angular dependence criteria defined in the ISO 12794:2000 Standard and other documents. The fading properties of these two dosemeter varieties were also investigated. In all experiments,...
متن کاملDosimetry at the Portuguese research reactor using thermoluminescence measurements and Monte Carlo calculations.
This work presents an extensive study on Monte Carlo radiation transport simulation and thermoluminescent (TL) dosimetry for characterising mixed radiation fields (neutrons and photons) occurring in nuclear reactors. The feasibility of these methods is investigated for radiation fields at various locations of the Portuguese Research Reactor (RPI). The performance of the approaches developed in ...
متن کاملTwenty Five Years of TL-Dose Measurements at the NRC-NEGEV
In the early years, the routine personal dosimetry at the Nuclear Research CenterNegev was performed by using photographic films. In 1975, the TLD method was introduced. The routine personal dosimetry was performed by using the LiF:Mg, Ti phosphors (G-1 cards), and employing an automatic Harshaw 2271 reader. The heating of the phosphor was performed by a hot finger, and the integral light outpu...
متن کاملAbsorbed dose measurements of a handheld 50 kVP X-ray source in water with thermoluminescence dosemeters.
Absorbed dose rate measurements of a 50 kV(p) handheld X-ray probe source in a water phantom are described. The X-ray generator is capable of currents of up to 40 microA, and is designed for cranial brachytherapy and intraoperative applications with applicators. The measurements were performed in a computer-controlled water phantom in which both the source and the detectors are mounted. Two dif...
متن کاملEvaluating the effect of energy on calibration of thermo-luminescent dosimeters 7-LiF:Mg,Cu,P (GR-207A)
Background: 7-LiF: Mg,Cu,P (GR-207A) is one kind of thermo-luminescent dosimeters (TLD) which can be used in diagnostic radiology and radiotherapy applications. Because of having suitable properties such as good sensitivity, small size and being tissue equivalent, thermo-luminescent dosimetry has been one of the most important techniques in medicine over many years. Choosing a correct energy fo...
