Latest developments in silica-based thermoluminescence spectrometry and dosimetry

Abstract: Using irradiated doped-silica preforms from which fibres for thermoluminescence dosimetry applications can be fabricated we have carried out a range of luminescence studies, the TL yield of the fibre systems offering many advantages over conventional passive dosimetry types. In this paper we investigate such media, showing emission spectra for irradiated preforms and the TL response of glass beads following irradiation to an Am-Be neutron source located in a tank of water, the glass fibres and beads offering t… Show more

“…Prior to installation of the AmBe source used in this investigation (Eckert and Ziegler, 2007) a similar measurement was performed with a slightly different configuration (Bradley et al, 2016) and was identical to that studied by (Taggart, 2007;Nicolaou, 1983;Matthews, 1979) with two AmBe sources ∼20 cm apart. Therefore, in these previous studies, it is important to consider that there will be independent contributions from each separate source.…”

“…Therefore, in these previous studies, it is important to consider that there will be independent contributions from each separate source. The spikes were less likely to be observed either due to lower spatial resolution (Taggart, 2007;Nicolaou, 1983;Matthews, 1979) or the possibility of the effect of combining contributions from two sources in the water tank (Bradley et al, 2016).…”

“…The TL signal shows peaks at temperatures that are associated with release from the electron-hole traps. Of note is that the many emergent TLcharacteristics of non-conductive amorphous media, all familiar in use of crystalline media, can also find effective interpretation through adoption of the energy band model (Bradley et al, 2015(Bradley et al, , 2016. For effective TL dosimetry important features include high sensitivity, linear response for a wide dose range, stability and a simple glow curve (Laboratory Resource, 2019).…”
