A precise investigation on the TL behavior of LiF: Mg, Cu, P (GR-200A)

Med Phys. 1994 Oct;21(10):1605-9. doi: 10.1118/1.597261.

Abstract

LiF: Mg, Cu, P is a TL material presenting unique dosimetric features. The TL sensitivity of this material was studied as a function of the annealing temperature and of the repeated cycles of annealing-irradiation-readout. A fading study was carried out over a period of 40 days with the purpose of checking the stability of the stored dosimetric information as a function of different annealing temperatures. A detailed statistical analysis of sets of data, obtained from repeated measurements on a group of ten dosimeters, is presented.
