Description

Saccharose, as table sugar, has been considered as a promising dosimetric organic material for EPR and UV readings because of the free radicals produced due to irradiation with X and gamma rays. Nevertheless, most studies with this system have been carried out at room temperature. We studied the EPR/UV response to gamma rays for this dosimetric system at low temperature (77 K) in order to investigate if a dependence of irradiation temperature exists. Dose effect, fading characteristics and dose coefficient have been also studied. (author)
