| Abstract: | Thermoluminescence (TL) response
of ten Indian brands of iodized salt has been recorded for possible use in TL dosimetry.
It has been observed that a heat treatment of one minute at 500°C reduces the
complexity of the glow curve pattern. Further, in many cases heat treated samples
exhibit intense peaks at higher temperature which are stable at room
temperature (25°C) whereas some brands like Sungold, Tata, Ankur and Dandi
inhibit such peaks. TL response of two such cases namely the integration zone
200-400°C of the glow curve of Taja and Shudh brands of iodized salt follow
polynomial of degree three to beta exposure in the dose range 1 to ~ 25
Gy; indicating its potentiality in TL dosimetry. |
