Abstract:
A new configuration for a thermoluminescent dosimetric card has been developed through collaboration between the Institute of Nuclear Physics in Kraków and several commercial dosimetric companies. The card is based on high-sensitivity LiF:Mg,Cu,P circular pellets (MCP-N) welded inside synthetic foils. The basic configuration consists of two pellets of 3.6 mm diameter and thicknesses from 0.25 up to 0.38 mm. The cards can be processed in a standard 6600 or 8800 Harshaw automatic TLD reader. The dosemeters demonstrate very high sensitivity, low background and good stability. This article presents results of the performance tests of the new dosimetric cards in the automatic TLD readers and a comparison of their properties.
