title: Atomic bomb and accident dosimetry with ESR: natural rocks and human tooth in-vivo spectrometer.
abstract: ESR dosimetry of some construction materials at Hiroshima and Nagasaki was carried out to determine the A-bomb radiation dose. Some minerals exposed to low-level natural radiation over a given geological time period can be also used to determine the intense A-bomb radiation dose. Finally, an ESR cavity and a special NdBFe (Neomax) magnet system for in-vivo measurement of radiation dose of a human tooth without extraction is designed and manufactured.
