Computerised glow curve analysis: a tool for routine thermoluminescence dosimetry.
The basic features of computerised glow curve analysis methods are presented, together with the advantages derived from their use for dosimetry. The rapid development of personal computers with progressively greater computation capability has permitted the application of different analysis methods for practical dosimetry. A very simple glow curve analysis method, specifically developed for the measurement of low or very low doses usually measured in personal and environmental dosimetry, is also discussed.
