Abstract: | A film dosimeter (0.35 mm thick) composed of polyethylene-vinyl acetate and microcrystalline l-α-alanine has been prepared and investigated with respect to dosimetric properties using electron spin resonance spectroscopy. The useful absorbed dose range is ∼ 25 to 105 Gy and no dose-rate dependence of the response is observed between 1 and 107 Gy s−1 within the dose range up to 50 kGy. With irradiation temperature increasing from 25 to 80°C, the response increases at most by 10%. The response is stable, within experimental uncertainty, at least up to 2500 h after irradiation. The suitability of the polymer-alanine film for measurements of ionizing photon and electron dose distributions is demonstrated. |
