LumiOSL: a new dosimetry system based on BeO's OSL

We present a new OSL equipment for dosimetric purpose, which is based on BeO as an OSL-dosimeter. BeO exhibits a near tissue equivalency over a wide range of energies, which is favorable in personal dosimetry, while exhibiting similar properties of TLDs in terms of the linearity of the dose-response and detection limit. The system consists of a reader and the badge and is characterized by having high sensitivity, high reproducibility, stability and being easy to use in the personal dosimetry routine. It was developed with the aim of allowing quick and convenient reading of the developed dosimeter. The badge contain one chip of BeO for Hp(10) measurement. (author)
