Fading study of Harshaw LiF:Mg,Ti thermoluminescence dosimeters exposed to neutron doses

Key Points

• Fading effects significantly influence the readings of thermoluminescence dosimeters over time, leading to potential inaccuracies.
• Key evidence shows that Harshaw LiF:Mg,Ti dosimeters demonstrate observable fading when exposed to neutron doses measured over a defined timeframe.
• Assessment using thermoluminescence as a method reveals critical information about the stability and reliability of these dosimeters in radiation environments.
• Impacts of fading on dosimeter reliability remain an important consideration for accurate neutron dose assessment; further investigation is necessary.
