Abstract:
The effect of previous irradiation on the sensitivity of the glow peaks of LiF:Mg,Ti (TLD-100) is investigated up to levels of dose of 400 Gy in both slow-cooled and naturally cooled materials following the 400°C/1 hour pre-irradiation anneal. It is demonstrated that the naturally cooled samples can be re-used up to accumulated levels of dose of 50 Gy without recalibration. At 400 Gy a significant decrease in sensitivity of approximately 25% is observed for all the glow peaks (excluding peak 3). In slow-cooled materials even 100 Gy does not alter the sensitivity of the material.
