Theoretical considerations of the TL response after irradiation-storage periods at various temperatures

Abstract

Theoretical calculations for estimating both the temperature and fading effects on the TL response of dosemeters used in environmental radiation dosimetry are described.Making use of the first and second order kinetics a set of equations is derived when the TL response is affected both by fading only and by fading in conjunction with environmental background. Then the responses obtained are calculated as a function of the storage temperatures during monitoring time.
