LiF:Mg,Cu,P glow curve shape dependence on heating rate.
The glow curve shape of LiF:Mg,Cu,P (MCP) material is studied in this research. The study is focused on the effects of the heating rate on the dosimetric peaks. Different configurations of dosemeters (chips, cards and powder) are studied. The shifting of the dominant dosimetric peak is observed and analysed. The curves are deconvoluted using the new Harshaw Glow Curve Analyser (GCA) program. Results of the study are presented, as well as possible explanations as to the observed effects.
