Abstract
It is demonstrated experimentally that optical excitation of irradiated LiF:Mg,Ti (TLD-100) by 4 eV photons has the same effect for both alpha particle (high-ionisation density) irradiation and photon/electron irradiation. In both cases, peak 5a converts to peak 4 causing peak 4 to increase following the bleach. Such an observation is consistent with the major premise of track structure theory that radiation effects following heavy changed particle (HCP)/neutron irradiation are due exclusively to the interaction of the secondary electrons created by the HCP slowing down.
