  • Abstract
    In order to improve the performance of a newly developed radiochromic film, GIC-79, some dosimetric characteristics of this film have been studied based on relevant standard practice. The present study describes some parameters that may affect the dosimeter response before, during, and after irradiation. The effect of absorbed dose rate on dosimeter response was determined by irradiating dosimeters at low absorbed dose rates with gamma rays. Calibration irradiations of dosimeters were performed with both gamma rays and also electrons to determine the effect of large difference absorbed dose rates on dosimeter response. In addition, post irradiation stability was obtained and also the temperature and humidity effects on the dosimeter response during the storage time prior to irradiation and post irradiation have been investigated.
