Description
Measurements of the EPR signal amplitude of γ-irradiated L-α-alanine with use of an adjacent reference sample have revealed variations in the signal intensity within hours and days after irradiation. The character of the time dependence of the amplitude varies with dose and the amplitude changes reach 1-1.5%. This observation favors the hypothesis that irradiated alanine contains several paramagnetic centers. Usefulness of adjacent reference samples in alanine dosimetry is also demonstrated. (Author)
