Description

Pellets of Wollastonite-Teflon composites were studied in relation to some TSEE and TL dosimetric characteristics: emission curves, calibration curves, and energy dependence (X-rays). The calibration curves of TSEE and TL response show a prominent and isolated dosimetric peak with maximum around 2000C that presents linearity between 1.5 and 6.0 Gy and a low energy dependence. TL and TSEE properties as glow peak positions and dose responses were determined and analyzed and the results showed that Wollastonite can be used in dosimetry, provided that energy dependence of its response is been properly taken into account
