Abstract
The thermoluminescence emission of clear crystal glass for dosimetric application on the low dose range (0.01-10 kGy) was
investigated. The glass composition of studied glass was found to be a good option for the foreseen purpose. The TL
maximum placed at 1870C was not shifted towards other temperatures after -irradiation. The linear response was found
over the large dose domain (5 Gy – 50 kGy), which is a suitable feature for dosimetric measurements. The fading
characteristics of crystal glass are good by its storage at -90C. Under this condition the decrease in the peak intensity is
about 15 % at 30 h of storage. The incessant maintaining at low temperatures the relative response intensity of this
dosimetric materials leads to a constant value of about 68 % after more than 150 h from the end of exposure.
