Pre- and post-irradiation fading of 6LiF:Mg,Ti (TLD-600) exposed to thermal neutrons.
The results of (6)LiF:Mg,Ti (TLD-600) glow peaks fading after irradiation by thermal neutrons, as a function of pre- and post-irradiation times up to 3 months, are presented. The measured glow curves were analysed using the computerised glow curve deconvolution and region of integration methods, to study the decay characteristics of each individual peak and the sum of selected peak areas in the glow curve. The results confirm a high stability for the sum of peaks 4 + 5 and 6 + 7, whereas peaks 2 and 3 have a dominant contribution to the fading effect.
