Dosimetric properties of the TLD European Cards with high sensitive MCP-7 (7LiF:Mg,Cu,P) thermoluminescence detectors for personal dosimetry

Abstract

Dosimetric properties of Harshaw compatible cards equipped with two thermoluminescence MCP-7 (LiF:Mg,Cu,P) detectors were investigated at the accredited Laboratory of Individual and Environmental Dosimetry (Polish acronym LADIS) at the Institute of Nuclear Physics, Krakow. Dose detection threshold, dose sensitivity, dose linearity, residual signal, fading, sensitivity to thermal neutrons, sensitivity to ambient light, and the influence of environmental conditions were evaluated. All investigated dosimetric properties were found to be within the limits defined by IEC document 1066 “Thermoluminescence Dosimetry Systems for Personal and Environmental Standard”.
