Dosimetric characteristics of tissue equivalent thermoluminescent solid TL detectors based on lithium borate

This paper presents the main dosimetric characteristics of newly prepared, complete tissue-equivalent thermoluminescent dosimeters Li2B4O7:Cu,In, and Li2B4O7:Cu, in the form of sintered pellets. The dosimetric characteristics of lithium borate thermoluminescent dosimeters examined in this study, include glow-curve shapes, TL sensitivity, photon dose response, minimum detectable dose, relative photon energy response, fading, reproducibility, precision of dose measurements and annealing procedure.
