title: EPR dosimetry using commercial glasses for high gamma doses.
abstract: Commercial transparent and colored (bronze, brown, and green) glasses were studied as possible dosimeters for high gamma doses using electronic paramagnetic resonance (EPR). All EPR spectra showed the characteristic Fe3+ signals, g=4.27 and 2.01. The signal at g=2.01 presented a more useable behavior for the calibration curve. All samples showed their usefulness as high dose dosimeters.
