High-dose behaviour of CaSO4: Dy thermoluminescent phosphors as deduced by a continuous model for trap depths

Abstract The high-dose behaviour of CaSO4: Dy TL dosimeters observed by some authors is compared with the one deduced by the continuous distribution of trap depths previously proposed by us. A general agreement results.

A multi-reading method for dosimetric TL measurements with CaSO4:Dy phosphors

Abstract A technique of dosimetric TL measurement for CaSO 4 :Dy phosphors is proposed. It is based on the results obtained in previous works, in which an approximately multi-Gaussian energetic distribution of the traps associated with the dosimetric peak and a different supralinear behaviour of the Gaussians were found. A single dosimeter is read a number of times by successive heating cycles which, starting always from room temperature, reach higher and higher final temperatures; in this manner it is possible to obtain consistent information on the dose several times. The drawback of the usual TL measurements, that is the total emptying of the dosimeter during one measurement, is then avo…

A method for fitting multi-component decay curves

Abstract A generalization of a non-iterative method recently proposed by Mukoyama for the fitting of two-component decay curve is presented. Two modifications of the procedure are also suggested, by which the influence of the statistical fluctuations of the data may be reduced. Results of fairly good quality are obtained also for three- and, to a lesser extent, for four-component decay curves.
