    Author: Triolo A, Brai M, Marrale M, Gennaro G, Bartolotta A.
    Journal: Radiat Prot Dosimetry; 2007; 126(1-4):333-6. PubMed ID: 17502321.
    Abstract:
    The glow curves of thermoluminescent dosimeters (TLD600, TLD700 and MCP), exposed to a mixed field of thermal neutrons and gamma photons are analysed. The fluence values of thermal neutrons used, comparable with those used in radiotherapy, allow one to define the reliability of the TLDs, in particular the most sensitive MCP, in this radiation field and to get information on the dose absorbed values. The glow curves obtained have been deconvoluted using general order kinetics and the observed differences for the different LET components have been analysed. In particular, the ratio of the n(0) parameter of two different peaks seems to allow to discriminate the different contributions of neutrons and gamma photons in the beam.
