Description
A systematic investigation of the effects of cooling rates in the range 10-1 to 2 x 1050c min-1 applied to TLD-700, LiF thermoluminescence dosemeters has shown that the 'transfer sensitivity' effect observed by Booth, Johnson and Attix (1972, Health Phys., Vol. 23, 137) is only of importance for cooling rates > 1030c min-1. Although it is concluded that for practical dosimetry purposes the effect may be ignored until this discrepancy is explained it is recommended that a low temperature pre-irradiation anneal should be used.
