Sir,

Comments on ‘The thermoluminescence dose-response and other characteristics of the high temperature TL in LiF:Mg,Ti (TLD-100)’ by Y. S. Horowitz, L. Oster and H. Datz

I am responding to the above comments concerning the recent paper(1) which reviewed the dosimetric characteristics of the high-temperature thermoluminescence (HTTL) in LiF:Mg,Ti (TLD-100). Before rendering a point-by-point rebuttal to the points raised by German and Alfassi, some general comments about HTTL and the current controversy concerning its potential or actual usefulness in mixed-field neutron gamma-ray dosimetry may be necessary. This is done in order to supply a background for the reader who is dis-inclined to read the review in detail and also to present an update of some recent developments. The review paper concentrated on two major issues.


   THE QUESTION OF THE UNIVERSALITY OF THE DOSIMETRIC CHARACTERISTICS OF THE HTTL
 
For example, to what extent are there batch-to-batch variations in material supplied by even the same manufacturer? This issue arises even in the application of . . . [Full Text of this Article]
