RESPONSE OF LIF TO NEUTRONS AND CHARGED PARTICLES,
Abstract
The thermoluminescent response of LiF was investigated with thermal neutrons and with fast neutrons at energies extending from 0.26 to 14 Mev. The results indicated that thermal neutron fluence may be conveniently measured with normal LiF but a higher readout temperature is required than for gamma dose measurements. Studies of fast neutron response with Li7F (to minimize thermal effects) showed a low neutron sensitivity which was strongly dependent on energy. Fast neutron response was also investigated for a dosimeter in which the powder was suspended in alcohol. The LET response of LiF was studied using alpha particles with energies from 900 Mev down to 2 Mev. (Author)
