Abstract

The parameters, Dth, Dc, Dm, f(D) and f(D)max., describing the characteristics of TL dose response are defined and a short survey of the literature concerning the dose response of the major TL glow peaks in LiF:Mg,Ti (TLD-100), peaks 5, 7 and 8 is presented. The experimental parameters and details of the analysis affecting the dose response are outlined. The importance of theoretical interpretation of the dose response in the determination of the dose response parameters is demonstrated and an in-depth introduction to the Unified Interaction Model is described. The dose response as a function of photon energy is analysed for peaks 5, 7 and 8 and the impact of the method of data analysis on the description of f(D) and especially the determination of Dc is emphasized.
