Description
Summary:Imaging plates for x-rays and electron and ion fluxes have a wide recording range, high sensitivity, and high spatial resolution and they show proportionality between the output signal and the radiation dose. The determination of radiation intensity using such plates is based on photostimulated luminescence. Imaging plates, a reader, and an erasing apparatus (Fuji Co., Japan) were used for the measurements. Investigations were performed to determine the ratio between the intensity of the photostimulated luminescence and the activity of tritium, using a tritium microscale (Amersham Company, USA), as well as the dependence of the intensity of the photostimulated luminescence on the exposure. The coefficient for converting the number of photons into the tritium activity, the error of measurement, and the minimum measurable activity are determined.
