RADIOPHOTOLUMINESCENCE SPECTRA OF SILVER-ACTIVATED DOSIMETER GLASSES

Abstract

The absolute radiophotoluminescence spectra of several commercial and experimental Ag-activated dosimeter glasses were measured with a specially designed apparatus. Depending mainly on the glass base composition, maxima between 615 and 640 millimicrons and a slow decrease in the red were found. The effect of build-up, silver concentration and dose of the RPL spectral shape is small. The influence of very high doses and thermal annealing was also measured.
