Abstract

New glass matrices were evaluated for high dose dosimetry by the thermoluminescence technique. Their nominal composition are 20Li₂CO₃.10Al₂O₃.15CdO.55B₂O₃ and 20Li₂CO₃.10Al₂O₃.20CdO.50B₂O₃ (mol%). The glass matrices were irradiated with different doses: 50, 100, 200, 500, 700 and 900 Gy, and the thermoluminescence emission curves were obtained for each of these values. The results show a great potential of using these matrices in high dose dosimetry.
