Thermoluminescence response of LiF to alpha radiation
Health Physics
|June 1, 1986
Abstract:
The relative alpha-to-gamma radiation sensitivity of LiF chips (TLD-100) was determined using 241Am and 137Cs. Sensitivity is expressed in thermoluminescence per unit of absorbed dose in grays. The relative sensitivity varied from 0.13 to 0.23 with a mean of 0.18 +/- 0.03. The chips were exposed at ambient temperature and pressure.
