Lyoluminescence response of irradiated saccharides to radiation quality effects
The International Journal of Applied Radiation and Isotopes
|July 1, 1985
Abstract:
Lyoluminescence sensitivity of five different saccharide powders to electron irradiation has been determined using luminol solution as a solvent. Effect of electron energy variation in the range of 5-20 MeV on the lyoluminescence yield has been measured. The light conversion efficiencies of different saccharides irradiated with x-rays, beta-particles, gamma-rays, fast electrons, 170-MeV/c pi(-)-mesons and 8-MeV neutrons have been calculated. Factors affecting light conversion efficiency, sensitivity and accuracy of measurements are discussed.
