Investigations of a new thermoluminescent bulb dosimeter
Description
A sensitive CaSO4: Dy (Tm) bulb dosemeter was developed. The minimal detectable dose is 1 μGy and the dose response curve is linear up to 10 Gy. The background due to self irradiation from the 40K content of the glass tube of the bulb and the fading is low. The bulb dosemeter shows a good resistance against mechanical burden. Owing to the above properties, the nuw bulb dosemeter proves to be particularly useful in space dosimetry, personal dosimetry and environmental monitoring. (Author)
