Abstract

This paper reports kinetic analysis of the main thermoluminescent peak in α-Al2O3:C for irradiation doses as high as 120 Gy and at various heating rates going as low as 0.01 K/s. The dependence of the various methods of kinetic analysis on irradiation dose and/or heating rate has been assessed with respect to the main peak. The dose response of the peak to high beta irradiation has also been presented.
