Radiation accident dosimetry on glass by TL and EPR spectrometry

Health Phys. 2010 Feb;98(2):400-5. doi: 10.1097/01.HP.0000346330.72296.51.

Abstract

Retrospective dosimetry using glass has been investigated. Radiation-induced signals have been surveyed for a large number of watch glasses and display windows of mobile phones with TL and EPR techniques in order to study the variability of dosimetric properties among the different types of samples. Dose response, signal stability, and effects of storage conditions are presented.
