Description

The dosimetric characteristics and the kinetics of the thermoluminescence of locally made LiF : Mg, Ti + PTFE pellets irradiated with 60 Co gamma radiation were investigated. A typical seven peaks glow curve was obtained. The dosimetric peak (peak V) appeared at 503 K, with a sensitivity of 1.5 relative to TLD-100 and fading of 1.8 % over one month at room temperature. The trapping parameters, namely, the order of the kinetics, the activation energy and the frequency factor were also investigated. (Author)
