A HIGH-PRECISION, TISSUE-EQUIVALENT DOSIMETER FOR NUCLEAR ACCIDENT AND RADIATION ONCOLOGY APPLICATIONS BASED ON OPTICALLY STIMULATED LUMINESCENCE (OSL) IN AL2O3:C

Abstract

Injection molding is an important industrial technique for producing large quantities of identical polymer and polymer composite parts. Although alumina of any kind is abrasive and damaging to the steel polymer molds, a technique was developed that reduced both the mold abrasion and the effective atomic number of the composite polymer dosimeter. Radiation oncology dose measurement applications would benefit from a large uniform batch of high-precision dosimeters (
