The Zero Signal and Glow Curves of Bare LiF:Mg,Ti Detectors in a Hot Gas TLD System

J. W. E. van Dijk and F. A. I. Busscher

The uncertainty in very low doses measured with TLDs is partly caused by the uncertainty in the zero signal of the detector. A mathematical model for the thermodynamics of TLD heating and the zero signal in a hot gas reader with constant gas temperature is presented. The major component of the heating is described as diffusion limited conductive heating, the major component of the zero signal is black body radiation from the hot TLD. The parameters in the model were determined from the glow curves recorded at five different gas temperatures. The model explains the shape and statistics of a zero signal glow curve and can be used in the quality control of non-irradiated TLDs before calibration irradiation and readout.
