Abstract
The properties of the radio thermoluminescence of CaSO{sub 4}:Mn, used for dosimetry of gamma and roentgen radiation, have been investigated. The light yield of the luminophore has been determined to 1.5 percent for 1 MeV gamma radiation. The dependence of the thermoluminescence light sum on the exposure, the exposure rate, and the exposure time can qualitatively be described by the first order process model, modified by a broad energy distribution of the electron trap depths. Some applications are discussed. The cheapness of the dosimeters, the convenient read-out, and the broad range of measurable exposures suggest that CaSO{sub 4}:Mn can be a valuable complement to other dosimetry systems.
