Description
Brazilian beach sand has already shown usefulness for high-dose dosimetry using the electronic paramagnetic resonance (EPR) and thermoluminescence (TL) techniques. In this work sand samples from Descalvado were studied in relation to their main dosimetric properties. The EPR signal grows significantly in function of absorbed dose for g of 2.000 and 1.996. All studied sand samples can be used as EPR dosimeters for different applications in medical, agricultural and industrial areas
