title: A high sensitivity LiF thermoluminescent dosimeter--LiF(Mg, Cu, P).
abstract: This paper describes the dosimetric properties of a new, high-sensitivity thermoluminescence dosimeter material prepared in our laboratory. The sensitivity of the LiF(Mg, Cu, P) phosphor is about 23 times higher than that of LiF (TLD-100). Its TL response is linear from 0.3 mR to 1000 R. Its energy dependence is similar to that of LiF (TLD-100). It is stable and reusable without significant loss of sensitivity. Its application to environmental radiation monitoring is described.
