Abstract :
The authors proposed the use of manganese-doped calcium sulfate irradiated for thermal dosimetry. This thermoluminescent compound shows a high sensitivity to temperatures ranging between 40°C and 50°C. Calibration procedure and experiments on sonicated meat are presented showing the feasibility of the method.
