EPR dosimetry using commercial glasses for high gamma doses.
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.
