Lithium fluoride thermoluminescent responses to neutrons

Neutron-irradiated Con-Rad type N and type 7 lithium fluoride are systematically studied according to the isothermal annealing, the glow curve analysis, and to the different energies ranging from thermal to 14 Mev. Special efforts have been made to investigate the half life of isothermal decay, the kinetics, the frequency factor, the trap depth, the probability factor, and the dosimetry prospect. The details of neutron flux measurements are given since it is important to the neutron dosimetry work. The comparison of the thermoluminescent effect due to gamma-rays and neutrons is also included
