Thermoluminescence Dosimetry Studies of Industrially Important Minerals

Thermoluminescence Dosimetry (TLD) and its Application in Medical Physics

Radiation dosimetry is fundamental in Medical Physics, involving patients and phantom dosimetry. In both cases thennoluminescence dosimetry (TLD) is the most appropriate technique for measuring the absorbed dose. In this paper thennoluminescence phenomenon as well as the use of TLD in radiodiagnosis and radiotherapy for in vivo or in phantom measurements is discussed. Some results of measuremen...

Thermoluminescence Dosimetry at the Vienna Triga Mark-ii Research Reactor

Dosimetry at the Portuguese research reactor using thermoluminescence measurements and Monte Carlo calculations.

This work presents an extensive study on Monte Carlo radiation transport simulation and thermoluminescent (TL) dosimetry for characterising mixed radiation fields (neutrons and photons) occurring in nuclear reactors. The feasibility of these methods is investigated for radiation fields at various locations of the Portuguese Research Reactor (RPI). The performance of the approaches developed in ...

Thermally Assisted Tunneling: an Alternative Model for the Thermoluminescence Process in Calcite

In this work we investigate the effect of gamma and ultraviolet radiations on the thermoluminescence of Brazilian calcite. The irradiated samples presented three TL peaks at 150, 245 and 320C (at a linear heating rate of 1.8C/s), with a main emission band centered at 615nm due to the G → S transition of the Mn. The irradiated samples presented, besides the Mn signals, three lines related relate...
