Thermoluminescence glow curve properties of TLD-500 dosimeter

3rd International Conference on Radiation and Applications in Various Fields of Research, RAD 2015 --8 June 2015 through 12 June 2015 -- --In this paper, TL characteristics and glow curves of ?-Al2O3:C dosimeter, known as TLD-500, were analyzed using different methods and softwares. The effect of heaating rate (HR) and low dose (from 10 cGy upp to 50 cGy) on TL glow curves of ?-Al2O3:C chips have been investigateed after ß-irradiation. TL kinetic paramete rs were also calculated by using computerized glow curve deconvolutionn (CGCD), peak shape (PS), various heatingg rate (VHR) and three points (TP) methods. Furthermore, using Mathematica software, all TL glow curves of TLD-500 were decomposed in order to compare with the results of other methods and simulated after exposed different beta ddoses. © 2015 RAD Conference Proceedings.FED-2015-3635, FYD-2014-2450Research Fund of the Cukurova University (Project Number: FED-2015-3635 and FYD-2014-2450).
